Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 350 Encountering the East by chance, the prodigal son is passionate (1)
Pei Yan's military affairs this time may take until the end of September to turn around. Of course, what he does is a military secret, and the people in the mansion don't know it. It's just that when he left, he had explained to Shen Xinyou everything, so he left with confidence.

He has been looking forward to it for a long time, and now that Ji Chonglian is here, the happiest person is him, but he has no choice but to delay the important military affairs, so he can only finish the errands in hand before reuniting with Ji Chonglian.

As for Shen Xinyou's identity, not to mention everyone in the mansion knows it, even her acquainted neighbors know it well. Her parents are both deceased and she has no relatives and no reason. One or two, if someone can ruthlessly drive her out of the house in such a situation, it will inevitably be pointed out, and what's more, it will hinder her reputation.

Lin Tao felt angry when she heard this, and couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "She must have made friends with her neighbors while her wife was not in the house, thinking that these people would be able to say a few words for her after her wife came. Scheming!"

After thinking for a while, Caiqiu said: "But you can't see it on the surface. The servants in the mansion say that Miss Shen is good and treats others generously. Presumably, half of the hearts of the people in the mansion are towards her!"

This is a fact, just from the sneaky figure that Caiqiu saw today, even if it wasn't sent by Shen Xinyou, to find out the situation here, maybe Baba would follow her in front of her to claim credit.

"This has to be done slowly, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

Ji Chonglian unhurriedly picked up the famille rose Ding kiln porcelain tea gu on the table, and lifted the lid of the tea. The clear and golden tea soup is slightly rippling, which is pleasing to the eye. Take a sip, and the taste is even richer and sweeter. , is the best Tieguanyin this year.

It seems that the things used in the house are all top grade, the table just now was not bad, Shen Xinyou said that it was for her to clean up the dust, the dishes on the table were a mixture of at least four kinds of cuisines, which showed her intentions.

If Ji Chonglian still doesn't understand the meaning of this, then it's a waste of time. Now that she is a real wife, Shen Xinyou is trying to please her!

"Madam, you said my uncle wouldn't really treat her..."

Cai Qiu asked worriedly, Ji Chonglian glanced at her, shook her head and said: "If Ayan really cares about her, she will not be like this now."

Lin Tao clenched her fists, "Then we also have to guard against her. Madam, should I take back the power of the housekeeper first?"

"Let her take care of it first!"

Ji Chonglian straightened her sleeves, her gaze hung down on the golden embroidered thread, "Since A Yan handed it to her, it's natural to wait for A Yan to come back and then settle the matter. Now I'm eager to take back this stewardship right. People don't know how to say it yet, there are definitely people in this mansion who will complain about her!"

Shen Xinyou has been in charge of the internal affairs of Pei's mansion, if it is said that she does not have many cronies who are useful, Ji Chonglian will naturally not believe it.

If the people in the mansion can't be united, there might be someone making trouble at the bottom of the house. Instead of doing this, she might as well relax these days. After traveling so hard, she should also adjust and rest for a while, at least her skin will be fine. It's time to take good care of her, she didn't want Pei Yan to see a yellow-faced woman when she returned home.

Guiying had just finished breastfeeding the child, and was hugging Mu Changkong to coax him to sleep. After hearing what Ji Chonglian said, she gave a rare smile and said, "Madam is right to do this. You are genuine. Miss Shen is nothing. She caressing is tantamount to lowering her status, and let's see what her plans are, and it won't be too late for us to make countermeasures."

Ji Chonglian smiled approvingly at Guiying, "Guiying really won my heart!"

Lin Tao and Caiqiu rummaged through some of the utensils in the cage. As far as Ji Chonglian could see, there was a nine-curved bronze candlestick on the desk that was used at home, and an enamel flower and bird garlic vase and a colorful brocade Ruyi hexagon on the antique shelf. Even the red sandalwood carvings and rich flowers blooming on the Babu bed where she slept for the first time were covered with light green lotus curtains... Everything she was familiar with was everywhere. Ji Chonglian was holding ten brocade silk cushions. He actually slept soundly.

The next morning after having breakfast, Ye Jinyu was talking to Ji Chonglian, when a maid came to invite her, saying that Shen Xinyou had gathered people from all the houses in the mansion, and wanted to see Ji Chonglian, the wife of the main house.

"Will my sister go?"

Ye Jinyu raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't know Shen Xinyou's plan, she felt that Ji Chonglian should go.

"Why don't you go? If the people in the mansion don't even know me, aren't they going to make people laugh in the future?!"

Ji Chonglian smiled faintly, Cai Qiu helped her up, and everyone went towards the main hall of the inner courtyard.

I heard that this time, even Guanshi Zhu from the outer courtyard was called over. This Guanshi Zhu was originally an aide in the barracks. Unfortunately, he injured his leg and couldn't help but ask for a job. It happened that Pei Yan was here. If they want to employ someone, they brought him back together. Apart from taking care of all the affairs of the outer courtyard, they also took care of the receptions and gifts from various houses, and they were evenly divided with Shen Xinyou!
But because of Pei Yan's respect, Shen Xinyou is slightly higher than Guanshi Zhu in terms of status.

When Ji Chonglian arrived at the main hall, there were already a bunch of people standing densely in front of the hall. Pei's mansion is not small, and there are seventy to eighty servants in total. Each door and room has complicated branches. Listen to them one by one. After reporting home, it will be almost noon this day.

Sitting in the living room, Ji Chonglian still needed Lin Tao fanning aside to feel a little cool. The person standing outside under the scorching sun was already sweating profusely.

"Madam, what else do you want?"

Shen Xinyou closed the ledger in her hand and handed it to Fang'er behind her, wiped off the fine sweat from the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, and then turned sideways to Ji Chonglian with a trace of caution.

She also recorded the personnel changes this time, who was assigned to serve in the main room, who was assigned to Ye Jinyu's garden, and where the people brought by Ji Chonglian should be placed. She took this opportunity Added a fine detail.

"No, let the people go away!"

Ji Chonglian waved her hand, and glanced at Shen Xinyou lightly, "From now on, if you have nothing to do, you don't have to work so hard. In this hot weather, order the kitchen to make some sour plum soup to relieve the heat and send it to each room!"

Shen Xinyou blushed, bit her lips and said, "Yes, thank you Madam for your consideration!"

Ji Chonglian smiled, and didn't say anything else, but Shen Xinyou felt uncomfortable all over, why did Ji Chonglian tell her that today's meeting was her fault?

Shen Xinyou glanced slightly to the side, and sure enough, someone in the crowd below had already started talking in a low voice, her heart shuddered, and her face couldn't help but sink a little bit.

Today, she originally wanted to test whether Ji Chonglian had plans to seize power, but she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, which made her feel at ease, and at the same time, she had another idea.
