To the room, see all around the quiet atmosphere is dignified, such as Hui know afraid just what happened.

Because she is lazy, and the Meng family has nothing to think about, Ruhui doesn't let the servant girl around her contact the people around the old lady. So she can't know what happened in the house at the first time. Sometimes she needs Chen to tell her.

Into the room, such as Hui toward sitting on the couch of old man Meng, two people respectfully blessing a gift.

Mr. Meng said frankly, "the family is in a mess now. Do you know that?" For a younger generation, there is no need to beat around the bush.

Ruhui nodded her head.

Mr. Meng said, "you can't live without someone in charge, but your grandmother is old. You can't let her manage for you."

Ruhui was not stupid and asked directly, "does my grandfather want me to take over the common affairs in the mansion?"

Mr. Meng nodded.

Ruhui didn't refuse, but said politely: "the reason why they make trouble, in the final analysis, is that they have no money on business. Grandfather, it's hard to cook without rice. " The old master asked her to be a housekeeper, which can't be refused. Even if he retreats, the old man is still the big parent of his family. But let her take out her private house to subsidize Gongzhong, that's no idea.

Mr. Meng said, "I have already allocated 10000 taels of silver to the account. This money should be enough for three months' expenses." He didn't say where the money came from.

Hearing that she had money on her account and only needed her housekeeper for three months, Ruhui said, "grandfather, this year is coming. There are many things to do. I don't know if I can let my five younger brothers and sisters take care of the common affairs with me." The housekeeper was very tired. There were so many beads in Meng's house. More people, more right and wrong, more tired.

Mr. Meng didn't lift his eyelids: "you can do these things by yourself."

After waiting for Ruhui to leave, the old lady asked, "why do you say that she should be in charge of the family for three months? Since the eldest doesn't want to be the housekeeper, I'll give it directly to raxi's daughter-in-law. "

Looking at the old lady, Mr. Meng said, "among all the granddaughters in law, the shrewdest one is ranxi's daughter-in-law. Do you think she would like to be in charge of the affairs of the government all the time? " I want to know. It's impossible. If you dare to force her, I'm afraid Ning's temperament will take the child to live back to her mother's home.

The Ning family is like the sun in the sky, while the Meng family is already on the decline. Ning Shi really took the child back, and at that time, he had to make an apology to get the person back.

The old man said, "what about three months later?"

The old man said, "three months later, let them take charge of their own families."

The old lady's heart jumped and asked, "are you going to separate?"

Seeing the old man's order, the old man immediately said, "no, we can't separate. Once the family is separated, the family is broken up. "

If you can, the old man doesn't want to separate. However, at this stage, they can only separate their families: "the eldest couple are determined to separate their families. If they don't go their way, they still don't know what will happen. The tree has big branches. Since they want to share, let's share it! " When he retired to enjoy his old age, he was not bothered by such trifles all day. Therefore, separation is the best choice.

Speaking of this, the old lady also knew that separation was imperative. However, she was still sad to shed tears: "if the family is divided, it will be difficult to have a family dinner together in the future."

Hearing this, the old man said, "it's easy to do. They are not allowed to move after the separation. We can't move out until we die. " When I followed him to the capital, I considered that there were many grandchildren. So the old man bought a big house with five entrances. Therefore, even if the Meng family has a large population, they can still live.

The old lady hesitated: "I'm afraid they won't like it."

"I won't give a cent to anyone who doesn't agree." Even if you don't agree to such a request, don't be so unfilial and obedient.

The old lady nodded.

When Chen heard that the old master had drawn ten thousand taels of silver into the account, he said, "it seems that the private rooms of the old master and the old lady are still very thick."

Ruhui said with a smile: "who is the old man? He doesn't know what uncle and aunt have done. " If you don't know all about it, you know most of it.

Knowing the nature of master Meng's husband and wife, the old master naturally needs to keep a few eyes open. Otherwise, how to enjoy the old age.

Ruhui asks Chen to take care of the sewing room and the tea room. She takes care of the rest.

It's different from the old rule that the housekeeper of Mengsi's grandmother binds her hands and feet. Ruhui reestablishes the rules as soon as she comes up. That is to check the accounts once every ten days, unlike the previous one month.

Ten days later, Ruhui called mother Cui, who was in charge of purchasing in the kitchen. After that, all the people in the house knew that Ruhui changed Cui's mother's job, and then put on her own room to take charge of the kitchen affairs.

When Chen knew about it, he said with some worry: "third sister-in-law, mother Cui is also the confidant of the great aunt. If you change people like this, the eldest aunt will be very angry

"Angry? Five Wen an egg, not to mention, also a buy is 20 jin. But there are five members in our family, and we haven't even seen eggshells. If I don't change her, I won't be able to survive this ten thousand taels of silver in December. " Usually, eggs are two for a penny. In winter, eggs are less and the price is more expensive than usual. No matter how expensive it is, it's not as terrible as ten times higher.

On the contrary, she knows prices very well.

Ruhui was also a housekeeper when he was Marquis of Anyang. He knew that when the water was clear, there would be no fish. But the Houfu in Anyang is also in charge of purchasing. It's just that they will bargain with the seller when they buy things, and then repay them at the market price. And the difference in price went into their pockets. Ruhui turned a blind eye to this. But this mother Cui has a big appetite.

Chen said: "if you say that, I'm afraid the great aunt will not give up."

With a snort, Ruhui said, "before I didn't care about her, I thought she was our elder. But if she dares to trouble me, I'm not afraid of her Since she knew that Mrs. Meng had concealed the money Meng Guangpeng sent back, she had no respect for Mrs. Meng any more.

Maisui said in a loud voice: "Granny, Granny four is coming." After taking charge of the family freely, the ears of wheat also rose. However, as Ruhui's confidant, she also knows that the Meng family will soon be separated. So, her attitude to people is the same. In this way, it is more respected.

Granny Meng Si came in and saw them. She probably joked: "when I was housekeeper, I was half tired all day. But I didn't expect that my sister-in-law and sister-in-law were so leisurely. " She's not dead tired, she's in a mess.

Ruhui said with a smile: "how can you come to me when you are so busy

Granny Meng Si said with a wry smile, "it's my mother-in-law who wants to see you, so let me invite you."

I want to know that it must be for mother Cui. In fact, she didn't like mother Cui, but she was one of the confidants of Madame Meng Da. No matter how annoying it is, I dare not show it. Seeing that Ruhui changed her job, Granny Meng Si was very happy.

Ruhui smiles. She wants to ask for her mother's punishment. But she's not afraid.

At the door, Granny Meng Si didn't follow in, but stood at the door waiting. Before long, she heard Ruhui calling for the doctor and ran in.

Seeing Mrs. Meng lying on the bed in a state of unconsciousness, Mrs. Meng was very anxious: "what's wrong with my mother-in-law, fourth sister-in-law?"

"Big aunt heard that mother Cui was greedy for several thousand taels of silver, and she fainted in anger." With that, Ruhui said with great chagrin: "I knew that earlier, I would not have told my great aunt about it."

Granny Meng Si asked in horror: "do you think mother Cui is greedy for several thousand taels of silver?" Her dowry is only more than 4000 taels of silver.

Ruhui said with a voice: "mother Cui has quoted double or even several times the price of the things she bought. It is estimated that there are several thousand taels of silver in more than ten years."

After a pause, Ruhui said, "as far as I know, her youngest son has not only a house, but also a small shop and 60 mu of land." Slaves can't have private property. But Cui's youngest son got a favor when he was six years old and released him from slavery. As a good citizen, you can have your own property.

Granny Meng Si gritted her teeth and said, "this dog slave should be cut to pieces." She knew that Cui's mother profited from her shopping, but she didn't expect that she was greedy.

Ruhui said with a smile: "she is the big aunt's companion, how to deal with it depends on the big aunt." She just needs to let the people in Meng's house know that Cui's mother has been greedy for a lot of money. As for the money and how to deal with mother Cui, she doesn't want to care.

Before the doctor came, Mrs. Meng woke up. Seeing Ruhui, Dr. Meng said, "Why are you still here?"

"Since my aunt doesn't want to see me, I'll go back first." With that, Ruhui walked away.

In the evening, maisui and Ruhui said, "third grandma, the eldest lady sent someone to check mother Cui's house. It is said that more than 300 taels of silver have been copied. "

"What did the great aunt do with Mrs. Cui?"

Maisui shook his head and said, "Mrs. Cui's family are sold separately." In addition to her youngest son, Cui's husband, son and daughter all work in Mengfu. With this sale, there is no possibility of family reunion.

Ruhui smiles.

As soon as mother Cui's affair happened, all the other managers in the house turned into quails. They were too honest. No one in the house dares to cheat. The atmosphere of Mengfu is much better.

This day, murashi and Ruhui said, "today, my grandmother told me that I hope you can always take care of the affairs in the house, but I refused. I told my grandmother that when my aunt got well, you would return the housekeeper to her. " If the housekeeper is involved, he has to complain about the big house. Why bother.

Ruhui said with a smile: "even if the big aunt is well, her grandfather won't let her manage the house before the separation. But it's OK. It's only been two months. "

"Huier, looking at Grandma's meaning, I'm afraid we can't move out because it means separation." In fact, Meng ranxi also wants to move out and set up his own house, which is the only way. But if the old man and the old lady don't agree to their move, he can only compromise. He has today, both rely on the two old people.

Ruhui said with a smile, "let's talk about these things later."
