Chapter 168 The Big House and the Second Household

Shangguan Fuxue met Shangguan Miaoyu's scorching eyes calmly, and couldn't help but smile a little. Seeing the sometimes stiff and sometimes distorted expression on her face was really very interesting.Shangguan Fuxue couldn't help laughing teasingly. Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, Shangguan Jie couldn't help asking: "Xue'er, what's going on?"

Shangguan Fuxue smiled and narrowed her eyes, watching Shangguan Miaoyu clenched her fists hard, and said casually: "Today, Fifth Auntie's yard is too busy, so she entrusted Rui'er and Mama Su's grandchildren to us to take care of. Who knows , Luyi walked away for a while, and Ruier and Xiao Luo ran out to play. Fifth Sister's maid, Li Ya, happened to meet Ruier and Xiao Luo, and gave them food..."

Shangguan Fuxue deliberately paused here, staring closely at the changes in the facial expressions of Shangguan Miaoyu and Shangguan Miaoshi, and Shangguan Miaoyu and Shangguan Miaoshi were also staring at her closely, trying to peep from her expressions Find out what she will do in the next second.However, it will not help at all, it will only make their hearts hang.

Shangguan Miaoyu's eyes moved, and she wanted to open her mouth to interrupt Shangguan Fuxue's words, but was held down by Shangguan Miaoshi, who silently shook her head at her, signaling her not to act rashly.Shangguan Miaoyu became even more nervous, her burning eyes wished she could burn Shangguan Fuxue to ashes, but she still pretended to be nonchalant.

Shangguan Fuxue smiled in satisfaction, "I just made the pastry. Who knows, Rui Er and Xiao Luo had a stomachache not long after they ate it. I went out with Lu Yi to find them, and we happened to see them, so we hurriedly sent them to the Shen's residence. Fortunately, it's just that the cakes are a little dirty, nothing serious happened."

Shangguan Jie nodded reassuringly, "That's good. Your seventh brother and Xiao Luo are all right now, aren't they?"

Seeing Shangguan Miaoyu and Shangguan Miaoshi obviously relieved, Shangguan Fuxue couldn't help but feel amused, this kind of feeling of playing with each other between applause is very good, "Seventh brother didn't eat much, go back and take some medicine It's all right now. Xiao Luo eats more, his body is still relatively weak, and he needs to rest for a few more days. I will let him stay in Shen's residence, and his wife will take good care of him."

Shangguan Jie smiled kindly, "Since it's all right, let's start."

Shangguan Fuxue nodded, and the old lady next to her waved to her, "Xue'er, come and stand beside grandma." Shangguan Fuxue glanced at Shangguan Miaoyu and sisters inexplicably, and their expressions became tense again unconsciously. , I only heard the old lady pat her hand, smiled kindly and said: "You have arranged things very well today, and everyone below has done things in an orderly manner. Even when your mother was housekeeper, there was never such a rule. And self-awareness. How the hell do you do it?"

Shangguan Fuxue held her with one hand, and said with a light smile, "Grandma, when my mother was in charge of the house, it was good to give both kindness and power. However, she has always been more powerful than kind, and the people below are punished more than rewarded. One point Small mistakes will be severely punished. In this way, when they do things, although they will be cautious, their enthusiasm will be greatly weakened. In these matters, they will even push each other, for fear that if they are not careful, they will cause trouble. If you do things like this, how can you do them well? So, I turned the other way around, kindness outweighs prestige. As long as things are done well, everyone will be rewarded accordingly. This will not only increase the enthusiasm, but also improve the performance of things. Consensual. It can save a lot of trouble."

The old lady nodded with some admiration, "Your mother used to be in charge, relying on herself as the mistress, she will inevitably be a little domineering and arrogant. Although the people below have done things well, they have long had opinions on her. You are doing the opposite. Not only have you won the hearts of the people, but you have also established the rules. From now on, you won’t be afraid that people below you will disobey you.”

Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help but be more serious, and said with a smile: "The future peace of our general's mansion depends entirely on you."

Shangguan Fuxue looked at her quietly. In this huge general's mansion, the old lady was originally a very scheming person, probably because of her age, and the intrigue in the back house, she had already been powerless.Moreover, she often has a lot of troubles because of the restlessness in the back house, and now she naturally hopes that everything will return to peace.Shangguan Fuxue felt more and more that the person in front of him was already an ordinary old man who wanted to enjoy his old age in peace.

Shangguan Fuxue suddenly smiled and said, "Grandma, Xueer will definitely not let you down."

"Hey!" The lady of Shangguan next to her laughed lightly, "I said, Third Aunt, today is considered a big day. The third lady took a long time to come here and asked our elders to wait here. Would you rather Praise others without teaching them? Third aunt is really 'fair' in doing things!"

Mrs. Shangguan was full of bitterness, raised her eyebrows and glanced at the second lady next to her, "Second brother and sister, it seems that our two rooms are the third lady's foil today."

The second lady glanced sideways at Shangguan Fuxue, with a displeased expression on her face, "Isn't it? If it wasn't for the ancestors left this rule, and we insisted that Shangguan's family gather together to sacrifice, I would be ashamed to stand here. He is decent, the treasure in his hand, the two of us are really 'green leaves with red flowers', it's all useless!"

Shangguan Fuxue smiled coldly, thinking about it carefully, she almost couldn't remember when was the last time she saw these two aunts.On such a serious occasion, it is really wonderful to have such two aunts singing together here.

"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can come here separately in the future! Although it is a rule set by the ancestors to sacrifice to the God of Tian, ​​​​if you are really dissatisfied with the meaning of the ancestors. From now on, our three rooms will be separated. It's up to you. Anyway, the ancestors just wanted to please their children and grandchildren, it doesn't matter if they are together or not!" The old lady gave Mrs. Shangguan a cold look, and said in a calm manner.

"Crazy!" Shangguan Yun blurted out and cursed, almost slapped his wife, hurriedly lost his smile, and respectfully said to the old lady: "Third aunt, this woman has long hair and short knowledge, and makes a big fuss at every turn. You The old man must not take it to heart! No matter how brave we are, we dare not break the rules of our ancestors. Besides, the three of us have separated a long time ago, and it is rare to get together today, so what can we say about "divided" If you don't 'split'?"

The old lady cast a sideways glance at Shangguan Yun, "Boss, you have been an official in the court for so many years, but you still haven't made any achievements at all. You married a daughter-in-law and you are so blind. You know how to make trouble and play tricks all day long! In the future, the Shangguan family can't count on it you!"

"Yes yes yes!" Shangguan Yun looked at the old lady timidly, lowered his head and said repeatedly: "The old lady is right! It's my nephew's fault that my nephew didn't discipline his daughter-in-law well."

Seeing her husband being so useless in front of the old lady, Mrs. Shangguan became even more angry, and stomped her feet anxiously, "Master, we are the eldest house, how can it be their turn to talk to the third house?!"

"Sister-in-law!" Shangguan Ming hurriedly called to stop her, "Today is a serious day, don't break the rules of our ancestors!"

Shangguan Fuxue looked coldly at the two men in Shangguan's family. The eldest Shangguan Yun went to the exam three times before he had to check Xiaolian. He stumbled all the way, relying on Shangguan Jie's status in the court, he barely managed to get Zongzheng Shaoqing in Zongzheng Temple. The post is in charge of compiling and annotating royal family names.Ranked from the fourth rank, compared with Shangguan Jie, it is like nothing else.And Shangguanming is even worse, he was brilliant in writing, he was highly praised by the emperor in the palace examination, he should have become Taishiling, but because he offended a high-ranking official, he was given a book, and finally he was unknown and trembling He stayed in the position of the prime minister of Taichang Temple without going up or down.

These two men, full of disappointment and depression, only hope that Shangguan Jie's power will last for a long time, so that they can barely support the decency and glory of the Shangguan family.It's irrational to have an argument with Sanfang at this time!
Shangguan Fuxue smiled calmly, walked in front of the two aunts, bowed gracefully, and apologized: "The two aunts are Xue'er's elders, and Xue'er never dared to let the two elders be green leaves! The two children had accidents, and the matter was urgent. Xueer had no choice but to delay the time of the two elders. The two elders wanted to beat and punish them. "

Mrs. Shangguan snorted angrily, unable to vent her anger, gouged out Shangguan Fuxue's eyes, and then said: "Miss San's words are plausible." Shangguan Yun stared at her relentlessly, and she couldn't get off the stage, so she just pretended Zuo calmly tucked back a strand of messy hair from his ear, and then slowly said: "Forget it, what Miss San said is for the sake of our Shangguan family's children and grandchildren. My aunt doesn’t know what’s good or bad.”

"In this case, let's start." Shangguan Jie said without anger.

The first lady of Shangguan glanced at Shangguan Jie with some dissatisfaction, and the second wife of Shangguan grabbed her hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, they are big and powerful, we can't care about it, so let's bear with it."

Mrs. Shangguan lowered her voice and said angrily: "These years, our two families have not endured enough?"

The second wife of Shangguan was dumbfounded for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Who will let the men in our two rooms not live up to expectations?"

Mrs. Shangguan's pupils narrowed sharply, and she almost covered the mouth of Mrs. Shangguan's second wife in a panic. She subconsciously looked at the expressions of Shangguan Yun and Shangguan Ming. Although their expressions were still calm, she still couldn't help feeling uneasy. Jumping anxiously.Although this is true, it is really disrespectful in front of the husbands!In such an era, women's three obediences and four virtues cannot be slandered a little bit. No matter how bad the husband is, no matter how many complaints women have, they should not express it in front of their husbands!A woman's inappropriate speech will make people doubt her upbringing in her mother's house at any time!
Mrs. Shangguan coughed lightly, and reminded softly: "Second brother and sister, second brother is right, today is a serious day, let's not break the rules of our ancestors!"

Shangguan Fuxue had a panoramic view of all this, with a half-smile on her lips, these two women seemed to have had enough of being aggrieved at home, and they just wanted to show off their prestige with her and vent their anger.
