Although the guests were gone, the Chu family was still busy.The servants are clearing the dining table and sweeping the hall. The large items need to be moved into the warehouse for storage, and the small items need to be put back in place.The banquet hall was even more busy, and all the gifts sent by the guests had to be registered and filed into the warehouse.Afterwards, it was rearranged and handed over to Gu Fuyun for inspection.

Gu Fuyun was the most impatient to read these, put the brochure aside, and suddenly remembered that Chu Rui once said that the grandmother and her elders were the most impatient with the housekeeper.Thanks to the small number of people in the family, it is not a big mistake to hand it over to the stewards.However, warehouses, accounting rooms, kitchens, and places where heavy oil and water are purchased have never been checked and sorted out.Chu Rui is usually busy with official duties, and he is also a man. He is usually in charge of the outer court, so he doesn't have time to ask about these things.Now that Gu Fuyun has come in, and he has free time, it is time to clean up these old accounts.

When Chu Rui came back from the outer courtyard, Gu Fuyun saw that he smelled of alcohol, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring sober soup for the man to drink.

Chu Rui did drink a little too much today, and his head was a little dizzy at this time, but fortunately he was still conscious, spread out on the couch, did not take the soup bowl, but said to Gu Fuyun: "You come to serve me .”

Gu Fuyun rolled his eyes at him, but thought that this man was usually nice to her.She had no choice but to go forward, took the soup bowl, helped him up personally, and handed the bowl to his mouth.

Chu Rui gulped it down, and almost felt full. After lying on the couch again, he rubbed his stomach again: "I'm full, rub it for me."

Gu Fuyun virtuously rubbed his intestines and stomach for him. She is a Chinese medicine doctor, so the massage skills are naturally not a problem. The breath will be straightened out, and people will feel a lot more comfortable.

"The difference between marrying a daughter-in-law and not marrying a daughter-in-law is really big." Apart from success and fame, what a man pursues is also inseparable from his wife and children.The ancients never deceived me.

Gu Fuyun said: "But there is a big difference between being a girl and being a wife."

"for example?"

"When you are a girl, you are precious. You only need to be romantic all day long, and your fingers don't touch the spring water. No one talks about you. Once you become a daughter-in-law, you can only stay low and make soup for your parents-in-law. Serving men, raising children, and taking care of uncles and sisters-in-law. Housekeeper and director, raising children, serving parents-in-law, and working for the husband’s family. Do you think it can be the same?"

Chu Rui sneered: "You have forgotten one thing, although being a daughter-in-law is hard work, it is also rewarding."

"What in return?"

"A man will obediently give you the money to spend, the inner house to you, and the slaves to you to train. You don't have to be like a girl, who doesn't go out of the door without going out, and doesn't have to receive a pitiful couple of months every month. Live on money. When the mistress of the house says one thing, the stars hold the moon, and she has money in her hand, which girl has this kind of treatment?"

Gu Fuyun smiled and shook his head: "You are always right, forget it, I can't blame you."

Chu Rui lay on the couch, squinting his eyes slightly, admiring the beauty of his daughter-in-law. Under the candlelight, his daughter-in-law Ruyu's skin seemed to be covered with a layer of precious jade, becoming more and more beautiful.Especially those smiling eyes, like feathers, always caressing his heart gently.

Chu Rui couldn't help but think of the attitude of the elders in the clan today, which is different from the usual alienation and politeness. Today, he completely felt the love from the elders for the younger generation.And the brothers also treated him with respect in their enthusiasm, Brother Rui Cong, Brother Rui Cong, Brother Rui Clan, Brother Rui Clan called him the most cordial.Chu Rui can clearly feel that these titles, which are almost the same as usual, suddenly have three points of kindness, five points of respect, and two points of intimacy.

The elders and clan brothers not only helped to greet the guests, but also solved many emergencies for him, and even blocked a lot of scheming arrows from the guests' words for him.

Chu Rui understands that the root of all this comes from the merits of his wife.

In the past, he always believed that although the Chu clan was powerful, they were all attached to the direct branch.Without the support of the direct branch and the signboard of the Huguogong, the entire Chu family's offshoots must be three points lower.Although I usually try my best to help the clansmen, but it is always with alms from above.No wonder the elders in the clan are not very warm to him.

Now that the daughter-in-law has entered the house, there is nothing to do, just bring some small gifts, walk around the house, and say something like "the first branch needs help", and the clansmen will come out, those who contribute money, those who contribute money, those who contribute, His attitude towards him has also improved greatly. In the past, he had three points of face and affection, but now he has three points of sincerity.

Now Chu Rui understands that no matter how powerful a person is, he needs to show weakness appropriately in the family, which can not only unite the clan, but also enhance the relationship.

Looking at his daughter-in-law's soft and beautiful face, Chu Rui couldn't help asking: "I asked you to hold a birthday banquet, how could you think of asking the clansmen for help?"

Gu Fuyun asked rhetorically: "Shouldn't every family help and support each other?" Although most of the clans and clans are attached to the direct branch, the direct branch cannot blindly provide help, otherwise the favor will become enmity.Appropriately show weakness and seek help from the subordinate clansmen. Those clansmen who have received the favor of the direct branch will naturally help with all their strength and will be willing to help.

Furthermore, although the side branches are attached to the direct branch, the direct branch is not so powerful that it defies the sky.The direct branch also needs the recognition and support of the clan, after all, it is difficult for a single tree to grow into a forest.

Chu Rui was stopped by the question, and after a while, he laughed dumbly: "You are right. I thought too simply. But, you can still invite Aunt Yong to help. You can also pull this face?"

Gu Fuyun smiled and asked: "If it were you, would you be able to pull off this face?"

Chu Rui thought for a while, and then said: "Whoever achieves great things should not be restrained. As long as this person is useful to me, I will condescend." For the benefit of wealth and for the purpose, face is the least valuable.

Gu Fuyun was deeply convinced.

……

After Mrs. Chu's birthday banquet, Gu Fuyun began to calculate the expenses spent on the birthday banquet and the status of gifts received.

Although I don't like this kind of welcoming and sending, for the sake of the big boss giving her such a generous reward, she should just go to work.

For this banquet, the outer courtyard brought in [-] taels of silver.

After two days of hard work, the accountant of the inner courtyard handed in the bill. Apart from inviting the troupe from the troupe, storytelling, acrobatics, and lion dance, the most expensive items were drinks, fruits, and ingredients, all of which involved purchasing.Because the purchase was rectified last time, there was little fraud on the account.Other tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and furniture are all existing from the warehouse.Although there are losses, they are all within a controllable range.

I compared the bills of banquets held in previous years, and sure enough, there is a lot of knowledge here.
