The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 179

"Don't be afraid." He put his hand on Qiniangzi's shoulder, and looked at the young woman in the mirror with her. "Opportunity is not only once, if you miss it once, there will always be a next time."

This consolation is actually not sweet at all, but rather down-to-earth and down-to-earth.

But it was so pragmatic that Qin Niangzi felt at ease: she was sure that even if she got messed up this time, Xu Fengjia would not blame her.

She took a deep breath, straightened her back, turned around and looked boldly at Xu Fengjia, letting her eyes entangle with him for a moment. "Don't worry, you men have men's battlefields... we women also have our women's battlefields."

She lowered her head again and smiled sheepishly. "Of course you are a victorious general, but I have never lost!"

When Qiniangzi stepped into the small flower hall, it was already half a quarter past time, not to mention more than a dozen mothers in charge, most of them had been waiting for almost half an hour.

Seeing Mrs. Seven enter the door, everyone stood up and saluted like a rite, and asked Mrs. Seven, "Madam Sixth Young Master, how are you?"

Qin Niangzi nodded with a smile, then glanced at Xiao Fuchun.

Even Xiao Fuchun knows how to call herself "Mrs. Shizi"... This group of mothers who are in charge really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp.

She just sat down in an armchair where the Fifth Young Madam used to sit, picked up the tea bowl at hand, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and gave the other mothers in charge a look at her chances.

Sudden airborne substitutions, the first appearance of the new supervisor is of course very important.In particular, Qi Niangzi usually sits next to Mrs. Fifth Young Master to watch her butler, and she is not familiar with everyone.How to replace the usual kind face with the mask of the boss is worth a lot of thought.

Changing clothes, being late on purpose, and even bowing your head to drink tea at this moment are all to create a sense of authority... If you don't act like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for this group of mothers who are all-powerful to take themselves seriously.

Qin Niangzi put down the tea bowl, raised her head and showed a friendly smile, and looked at the mothers in charge one by one.

The mother in charge in the old house compound is the worst offender. These people can come in and out of the house at will, and often act as the mistress' hands and eyes. I only see that Liang's mother can send a large package of precious medicinal materials to Qin Niangzi in private. They are completely ignorant, knowing that this group of people is by no means just a beginner who can be manipulated casually, and those with lower methods may be ignorant even if they are manipulated.

Her eyes were everywhere, some people lowered their eyebrows and narrowed their eyes, not daring to look at her, showing a face of obedience, some people boldly looked back to make a quail shape, some people had erratic eyes, and when they touched her split...

The spiritual outlook of the eleven mothers in charge had already left an initial impression on Seventh Lady after this pair of eyes.

"A happy event at home is imminent, but sister-in-law Xian is ill. Fifth sister-in-law is worried about her daughter, and has no time to take care of things these days." She explained the ins and outs in a dignified manner. "Grandmother is getting old, and mother is not in good health. It's good to drive the ducks to the shelves. Qiniang has no choice but to bite the bullet and help Fifth Sister-in-law take care of the house for two days."

Because of the relationship with Xu Heng, the Duke of Pingguo, Qin Niangzi's name was not recognized in Xu's family.Usually calling herself Xiaoqi, but in front of the elders, in front of the servants, she can still call herself Qiniang cautiously, but this caution is not easy.

"I know that I have little virtue in my youth, and there have been a lot of things these few days. Everyone, Xiao Guicao followed, and dealt with the errands in a safe and sound manner. Naturally, mother and fifth sister-in-law will be rewarded." Seventh Lady smiled at Xiao Fuchun. He smiled and said again. "We are all face-worthy mothers. You must keep your spirits up these days. If something goes wrong, you will be so tired that you will lose face, and you will not be able to talk when you meet in the future. Isn't it?"

The meaning of these few words is infinite, and everyone can't tell the feeling when they hear it.Seventh Lady ordered Li Xia again, "Go to Qingpingyuan to invite the old mother over. This is a big family matter. What if there is no one around the mother to take care of her?"

The mothers took the courage to glance at Qinianzi, and saw that although her complexion was gentle, she was dressed rigorously, and she looked more majestic than the youthful girl in the past.After being stared at by Seventh Lady again, they all retracted their eyes, not daring to look directly.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull, and it seemed that iron ingots were pressed on the sky above the room, causing the backs of the mothers in charge to bend a little more than before.

Seventh Lady swept everyone away again, and she smiled with satisfaction.

She nodded to the first middle-aged mother in charge on the left, "What's your name?"

"Responding to the young lady's words, everyone calls the servant Lin Shan's family." The mother in charge came out and bowed, and answered respectfully.

"What do you care about doing big things this time?"

"The servants are in charge of the storage and storage of gold and silver utensils in and out of the warehouse."

"What do you usually care about?"

"It's the same errand."

Qin Niangzi turned her head and asked Xiao Fuchun, "Sister-in-law Fifth, is there any gold and silver utensils that have been smashed, how do you count?"

Xiao Fuchun didn't dare to be negligent, turned his head to think for a while, and said with some uncertainty, "It was smashed by the servants of the family. The money from the officials was melted into a heavy blow. Compensation."

Qin Niangzi pondered slightly, and then asked Lin Shan's family, "How many people do you have under your command?"

She cross-examined her one by one carefully, while Shangyuan on the other side had become accustomed to writing a page of paper like flying with ink and brush. Everyone couldn't help but want to read it, but they didn't dare, shrinking their heads. The scene was very funny for a while.

After Qin Niangzi finished asking, she took a look at the roster in Shangyuan's hand, and asked Lin Shan's family with a smile, "Can you read or not?"

Lin Shan's family was totally emboldened by Qin Niangzi's unheard-of ostentation, so he nodded boldly and said in a low voice, "I can also read a few big characters."

They are mothers in charge, and their educational level is indeed higher than that of ordinary women. Seventh Lady nodded, and ordered Shangyuan to show her the brochure, and said with a smile, "It's all good, right?"

When Lin Shan's family looked at it, it turned out that Shangyuan made a volume of his own files, wrote down his responsibilities and errands, and had specific detailed management and so on.She kept guessing all the way, but she didn't see anything wrong, so she nodded and said, "That's right."

Seventh Lady nodded and smiled again, "You sit down first."

She turned to the second mother in charge on the left and started talking. "What's the name?"

After this interrogation, the old mother sat under Seventh Lady and drank tea twice before Seventh Lady finished questioning the eleven women in charge. She didn't speak for a while, but just looked down at the documents.It took a long time before he raised his head and smiled, "Okay, now I want you all to think about it, what will you be doing in the morning of your birthday?"

She asked this question very strangely, and no one answered for a while, and Qin Niangzi was not in a hurry, and looked at the mothers in charge one by one with her cheeks propped up. After a long while, the Lin Shan's family had the courage to say, "Take someone to open the small shop." Treasury door, take gold and silver utensils?"

Seventh Lady nodded, pointed to another mother in charge, and asked, "What about you, where are you doing?"

The one who was named was Wang Yide's family - she was in charge of greeting the women of Zhike. The middle-aged woman wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled reluctantly, "Slaves should wait in the second gate for guests. When they come, they will direct the women to go forward and guide them, and everyone will take their positions."

With the beginning of these two people, everyone became active. You talked to each other, and used words to "rehearse" what everyone was going to do on the birthday in Leshan Residence.When everyone should do what, Qin Niangzi made it clear, "The banquet starts at noon, where are you and what are you doing?" Responsibilities are clearly demarcated.This stroke made the whole situation clear.

Qin Niangzi looked at the chiming clock, then smiled and asked Lin Shan's family, "If someone under your command makes a mistake, what should you do? For example, someone knocked a golden lotus bowl and knocked the bottom of the bowl crooked."

Lin Shan's family laughed and said, "I'll present another one, and come back to punish that person after the matter is over."

Qin Niangzi nodded and smiled again, "Yes, this is also the arrangement that your mother who has gone through the incident will make."

She took a sip of tea casually, and then ordered, "But from now on, you have one more thing to do, whoever made a mistake in the family, it's not a big deal, what should be punished, what to do, what to do when you look back I registered the cause of the matter, dealt with colleagues, etc. in the booklet, and sent it to me for filing. The mothers are all literate, and this task is not difficult. I thought it would be better to register them all from now on. "

She glanced at the crowd again, and then smiled, "Of course, the fifth sister-in-law has the rules in the hands of the fifth sister-in-law, and my rules are just for the past few days. I must ask mothers to accommodate me... In other words, if Where did something go wrong, it was the mothers who did not register, but they came to me afterwards. I had to investigate carefully to see why the mothers did not register, and it would be such an embarrassment. "

Qin Niangzi still spoke softly, but the false smile in her eyes had cooled down, her big and black pupils were like two bottomless cold pools, with an indescribable power Blowing out, another layer of frost was blown on the already heavy atmosphere of Leshan Residence.

The old mother was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.

This Seventh Lady is really unobtrusive... I have tried my best to overestimate her ability, but I don't want to, I still underestimate this person.
