Three young grandmothers

Chapter 61
Mo Zixu patted the back of her hand with a smile, "It's okay, let's go to Da Furen's place now, I heard that the place where the newly deceased is not clean, and I don't know the rules in Qi's mansion, is granddaughter-in-law allowed to go there?" .”

Hearing what she said, Liu'er smiled, "It's a coincidence that the maidservant just came from the Da Furen, and the Da Furen said, I don't need to care about this matter, after tomorrow, the mansion should deal with the funeral of the old man, sir The lady is in charge, and the lady is in charge, she said, it is necessary to ask the young lady to help as an assistant."

Associate?

Does that mean housekeeping in disguise?

Today, I was thinking that I have made no contribution to the Qi family, and this opportunity has come. Although it is said that it is at the price of the death of the old man Qi, it is always an opportunity.Perhaps, the eldest lady is trying to make up for the harm caused to her by taking a concubine for Third Young Master Qi.

In any case, she is not the kind of person who will let opportunities slip away. Although she is used to keeping a low profile on weekdays, when the time is right, she should let those people know that she is not a soft persimmon, who can be pinched and gentle. Xianshu and being kind to others are just her "virtues".

Thinking of the assistant, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she was a little eager to try.

The funeral of the old man of the Qi family really made Mo Zixu understand what luxury is, and he also truly understood that the Qi family is really rich.

The corpse of the old man was chosen to stay for 49 days on July [-], and the obituary was announced three days later. On the second day after the old man passed away, Lord Qi invited a hundred and eight Zen monks to worship in the hall with great compassion and repentance, to save the dead and bring light to the world. The cost of these aspects is not a small sum.

Not to mention that the entire mansion seemed to have been refurbished, replaced with all white decorations and hangings.

It is said that the coffin of Mrs. Qi is also very particular, it is made of masonry.Mo Zixu has heard about this point. It is said that the word "樯" means boat, implying that after death, one can reach the other side like crossing a river.

Liu'er didn't know where to get the gossip, saying that it was 20 years ago when Master Qi got this coffin, and Master Qi Er was still alive at that time, but he kept hiding it, even Master Qi Er When he died, he didn't take it out.Everyone was puzzled, and they dared not draw conclusions about the behavior of the head of the family.Mo Zixu guessed in his heart that Master Qi should have also prepared such a high-quality coffin for himself. The reason why he didn't take it out when Master Qi died was because he was thinking that Master Qi would not be able to cross the coffin after death. On the same side?
It is said that when Master Qi bought that coffin, he spent about 1000 taels of silver. Mo Zixu roughly calculated that her current monthly silver is only ten taels of silver. Things, it takes at least ten years of savings to buy such a coffin, which is almost catching up with buying a house in modern society, but yes, isn't a coffin the "house" after death?

It turns out that people in ancient times already had the concept of "real estate" speculation.

Besides, Mrs. Qi has just passed away, and someone in the mansion has sent a mourning letter to Young Master Li Tang who is away from home, but I heard that Young Master Li has already arrived in the west of the border at this time, and it will take four or five people to wait for the letter to be delivered to him. It's month time.

After the obituary announcement on the fourth day, there will be a lot of guests in the prayer mansion. Naturally, the old man Qi can't count on Young Master Li Tang. I pray to the third young master that he is not allowed to leave the house for half a step.There is no way, the youngest Qi fell ill, praying that the fourth young master is unsophisticated, and the only men available in the mansion are the second young master and the third young master.

As for the eldest lady, some daily logistical work in the mansion has been handled in advance, but the family is too big and there are too many trivial matters. Slowly, some maids and servants hired temporarily began to fill their own pockets and start petty theft.

The eldest lady had a headache, she was in a hurry, and she had a fever within a day of tossing. The guest had not arrived yet, and the mistress fell ill, so in desperation, she pushed Mo Zixu to the leadership center inside the mansion.

In fact, due to emotion and reason, she should also assume the role of acting mistress.

She is currently the only wife of the first son in the Qi Mansion, and she was married from the eldest lady's mother. According to the custom, if she has a baby under her knees, she will naturally be the mistress in the future, and the only one who makes everyone worry. The reason is that Mo Zixu is too weak on weekdays, even the eldest lady is worried about whether she can hold up this field.

Helpless, now in the Qi mansion, the other side wives don't have that power.The eldest young master's old illness broke out, and the eldest young mistress had to take care of the eldest young master, so she had no time to intervene; the second young mistress was pregnant, and it was even more inappropriate; therefore, it could only fall on Mo Zixu's head.

Taking this opportunity, the eldest lady also intends to train Mo Zixu, the future mistress, so that if her son doesn't live up to her expectations, it's fine for her daughter-in-law to live up to her expectations.Unexpectedly, on the first day Mo Zixu came to power, he made everyone look at him with admiration.

In fact, in the last life, Mo Zixu was considered a small team leader in the design department, and she also directed a dozen or twenty people under her command. Now she is helping to lead a large family, and she is considered a boring time , I found some sustenance to enrich my heart.

The so-called three fires for new officials, Mo Zixu's first fire was to rectify the work attitude of the subordinates. On the first day he took office, he slapped the wife of Housekeeper Liu who was late for the roll call, as a warning Follow you, kill chickens to scare monkeys, nothing more.

The second thing is to manage the overall situation and decentralize power.According to the idea of ​​modern division of labor, she works more and gets more, and works less and gets less. She re-divides the monthly income of the servants in the mansion according to the severity of the work in the mansion, and implements that whoever takes care of the site is responsible. Can't shirk responsibility.

After these two matters were done in this way, Mo Zixu naturally let almost all the servants in the mansion know each other again. Those who used to secretly talk about the adultery of the third young master and the second young mistress also began to sweat in their hearts. It is easy to say that Mo Zixu is a soft persimmon?It turned out that it hadn't really fallen into her hands yet.

That night, Master Qi and the eldest lady called her over and praised her. The eldest lady even rewarded her with the warm jade bracelet she wore when she got married; as for Master Qi...Master Qi's eyes were very strange, Speaking of appreciation, there is such a meaning, but Mo Zixu always feels numb in his heart, and when he is stared at by the middle-aged man, he feels a little bit see-through.
