Chapter 371 Tighten the Fence
Since Tian dared to tarnish Chu Yu's reputation to take revenge on Da Fang, Gu Fuyun was not in the mood to sit still.

On the second day, when Mrs. Tian dragged her sick body to pay respects to Mrs. Chu, Gu Fuyun hurried over and brought the topic to the new courtyard of the eighth younger sister, Chu Xun.

"... Fourth Aunt, Eighth Sister's yard has been tidied up, and the only thing left is the decorations in the house. When will Fourth Aunt tidy up the decorations? Should I send someone to clean them up?"

Tian tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and said with a forced smile: "Oh, I've been groggy for the past few days, and I actually forgot about this matter. I'm going back to open a small warehouse now and pack up the decorations. Dalang's daughter-in-law Give me a few more days."

Gu Fuyun asked again: "Okay, is three days enough? The main thing is that the eighth younger sister opened the hospital alone, and then invited a few good friends to come to play at home. It's not good to have an empty room. It's just that the fourth aunt is not healthy. , It's really not suitable to be tired, I think it's better for me to send someone to move to the small storehouse, so as not to tire my aunt."

Blocked all of Tian's back roads.

Now, Tian didn't dare to excuse her poor health anymore, so she forced herself to be calm and said: "There is no need to bother Dalang's daughter-in-law, it's just a trivial matter, and I won't be tired."

Gu Fuyun smiled and said: "Well, then I will thank Aunt Tian on behalf of my eighth sister." Then he reprimanded Chu Yu, "Don't complain about my fourth aunt in front of me from now on. In fact, my fourth aunt is still very good to my eighth younger sister."

Tian: "..."

Chu Yu was stunned, and before he had time to react, Gu Fuyun said to Mrs. Chu again: "The fourth younger sister acted impulsively and disrespected the elders, but grandma scolded and punished her, and the fourth younger sister also personally apologized to the fourth aunt. It was exposed. But for some reason, the news of the fourth younger sister’s disrespect to the elders was spread. Grandmother and granddaughter-in-law are not able to manage the family well, so I ask grandma to punish them.”

Mrs. Chu subconsciously looked at Tian, ​​who pretended to be calm.The old lady said to Gu Fuyun: "You can't blame it all, you need to be strong to forge iron. Fourth girl made a mistake, so she has to bear the consequences of being publicized."

Gu Fuyun said: "It's true to say so, but the fourth younger sister is a girl from the Duke's Mansion anyway, and she is at the age of marriage. If the fourth younger sister is not good, won't the other younger sisters be implicated? I made a big fuss, saying that the reputation of the fourth younger sister cannot continue to suffer."

Mrs. Chu took a look at Chu Yu, and comforted Gu Fuyun: "I can't blame you for this matter, how could Dalang lose his temper at you? Fourth girl, look at you, what you have committed, you still don't care about it." Let your sister-in-law suffer."

Chu Yu hurriedly said to Gu Fuyun: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm the one who got you into trouble."

Gu Fuyun smiled easily and said: "One family doesn't talk about two families. Although the fourth younger sister is wrong, she just needs to correct herself. I am indeed responsible for letting this matter spread. It seems that the servants of the Duke's Mansion It's time to take care of it." Then he said to Mrs. Chu, "Grandmother, grandson's wife decided to tie up the fence, and start from the women at Ermen and Jiaomen. From now on, anyone who wants to go out must be registered in the register, and must be registered. Record the time of entry and exit. In this way, if there is any trouble, you can start to find out from here."

Mrs. Chu nodded: "Da Lang's daughter-in-law is thoughtful, and it should be so." Many wealthy families really need to register when entering and leaving the inner house. The Duke's Mansion has never implemented such a policy, mainly because the old lady never thought of this level.

Gu Fuyun said again: "If the management of the concierge is strict, there will be no incidents of slaves selling the warehouse items without permission. Although Zhang Youcheng's family has been severely punished, with so many slaves in the Duke's Mansion, there will definitely be some who slip through the net .In my opinion, it is better to prevent from the source than to investigate after the event. As long as you have to register every time you enter or exit the second gate or the corner gate, you can put an end to these malicious people."

The old lady nodded again and again, Dalang's wife is indeed a good material for the housekeeper.He even asked the three girls to learn more.

The three girls stood up again and again, saying yes respectfully.

Even the Tian family boasted that Gu Fuyun would be a housekeeper, and if the Duke's Mansion was in her hands, she would be able to rest assured.

Gu Fuyun glanced at Tian Shi, and said: "Not only do you need to register when you come in and out, but you have to register and record anything you bring into and out of the Duke's mansion. Last year, the sixth prince was poisoned and died. Marquis Mighty Wu personally investigated the case, so he entered and exited the palace. The traces found in the registration book of the door, and then follow the clues to find out the real culprit behind the scenes. So I also think that our Duke's Mansion can also act accordingly."

Mrs. Chu nodded again and again, "This idea is very good. In these years, Mrs. Liu has been in charge of the family, and many shocking things have happened in the Duke's Mansion. Either poisonous snakes appeared in Dalang's house, or the food was highly poisonous. Many people have still become headless cases. If only you were there at that time, these insidious tricks must have no trace."

Gu Fuyun said with a smile: "My son is blessed with the same blessings as the heavens, and with the blessings of our ancestors, all ghosts and monsters must stay away."

With the consent of the old lady, Gu Fuyun strengthened the defense of the backyard. The twelve women were divided into three shifts, guarding the second gate and the corner gate day and night.

Generally, when going out for shopping, carriages and horses come in and out through the east and west corner gates, and even female guests mostly enter through the corner gates.

Therefore, these two corner gates are very important, so Gu Fuyun specifically explained that not only must registration be made in these two places, but also all the belongings must be registered in the register.Most of the mothers-in-law are illiterate, and the outer courtyard specially sent a few servants who can read and write here to take charge.

After Chu Rui learned of this, he said: "You only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Big things are easy to say, what do you do with the small items hidden on your body, medicines? And often bad things come from this kind of An inconspicuous gadget. Unless you search your body. The servants in the house can do it, but what about the guests who come in from outside?"

Gu Fuyun was also short of breath: "Then do you have a better way?"

Chu Rui spread his hands.

Tian's behavior of taking things from her mother-in-law's family to help her mother's family is disgusting no matter which family it is placed in.Marriage between two surnames is about the friendship between the two surnames, mutual benefit and mutual assistance, not unilateral poverty alleviation.It's not an exaggeration to do it once in a while, and everyone will be angry after a long time.Although the Duke's Mansion has a big family and a big business, it also has a lot of expenses.Chu Rui is also often worried about money, so he can't see Tian's behavior of helping his mother's family on a regular basis.

So Chu Rui gave Gu Fuyun a bad move.

"Didn't the eighth younger sister open the hospital independently? Sifang can directly transfer a part of the money to the eighth younger sister."

Gu Fuyun said: "I've thought about this a long time ago, but I have to wait until next month to implement it."

"The Duke's Mansion will regularly cut clothes and make jewelry for the female family members every month. You will tell the needlework and jewelry room, but all the supplies in the fourth room will be marked with the Duke's Mansion's logo in an inconspicuous place."

Gu Fuyun didn't understand at first, Chu Rui said again: "In the future, the silver bills issued to Tian's will be directly exchanged for cash. The logo of the Duke's Mansion is engraved on the silver. By the way, Fan Tian will apply for it from the warehouse. All the items in it have to be stamped."

Now Gu Fuyun understood, this method is really clever.It is impossible for Tian to directly give large items to her natal family, only silver, or small items that are easy to carry out and sell.Once these things enter the market, the Duke's government can detain people and things openly, and then charge Shitian with taking money from her husband's family to accept the crime of crowding out her mother's family.
