Red makeup against the world

Chapter 92
Not long after, He Xiang led a few maidservants and brought the meal.Yulu took someone out to pick it up, and set a meal in the left ear room.When the food came out of the lunch box, it was still steaming hot, and it was obvious that it was ready and delivered directly.Mrs. Xu has already agreed that "Green Bamboo Garden" will take care of her own expenses in the future, and Mrs. Lin has transformed herself into a hospitable hostess.

The Xu family has three masters, Mrs. Xu, Xu Wanzhen, and Xu Wenyu. Mrs. Xu always eats lightly at night, and her appetite is also small.Xu Wanzhen just woke up from a nap, and felt that she hadn't digested her lunch yet and didn't eat much.Xu Wenyu is a child again, how much can he eat?

A table full of sumptuous dishes, only a small amount was used, and the dinner was over.Mrs. Xu told Yulu, "Take it all away, and share these dishes with you."

The maid's daily diet is not much worse than that of the master.But for the rough envoy women below, they can eat these dishes several times a year.All had a hearty meal.

Xu Wanzhen supported Mrs. Xu in the courtyard, taking a walk to digest food.After sorting out the thoughts in her mind, she said slowly: "Grandmother, I have already arranged the daily life. After doing some calculations, I found that there are still some people missing."

Mrs. Xu patted her hand and motioned her to continue.

"Now that we have settled down and plan to live for a long time, we don't need to say that the equipment is complete, but it can't be too short. I sent a rough envoy to Yuer's place, but at least two little maids are still missing. Grandma's here , four little maids are missing." After a pause, he mentioned himself without hesitation, and said: "For my granddaughter, only one in Sangzi is not enough, and there is still a lack of a big maid and two young maids."

She is deployed in comparison with the Xu family's manpower in Suzhou, although it is not as good as that of the Beijing family.For example, Fang said that in Tu's house, as the old lady in charge, Mrs. Lin had four first-class maids.Tu Bowen's wife, Li Shi, has two first-class maids and four second-class maids.But after all, the Tu family is only a temporary residence, and the space is limited, as long as there are enough people.

"En." Mrs. Xu nodded: "The ranks of the maids are also the same as those of the Tu family. From now on, the eldest maid will be the first-class maid, and the youngest maid will be the second-class maid. Yu'er is still young, but the room cannot be occupied by Liu. The mother alone has the final say, and the little maid is not good enough, so she needs to be paired with a first-class maid who can handle things."

"Then we need two first-class maids and eight second-class maids. Grandmother, do you choose from the children born in the Tu family?"

"You can let the word out, pick half of the Tu family, and let the children bring others to pick." Mrs. Xu thought about it this way, and she can take care of the Tu family's children. These servants, which family doesn't have some children to look for? manual labor?He can also take care of his own yard, and the people brought by Renyazi have cleaner backgrounds, no factions, and higher loyalty.

Xu Wanzhen responded softly.

Mrs. Xu said: "Zhen'er, I'm getting old. From now on, you will be in charge of the accounts in this yard. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me again." This is to delegate the power of the housekeeper to the Xu Wanzhen.

Xu Wanzhen was surprised and said, "Me? Grandma will take care of it, and I'll help from the side. Many important matters require grandma to make up her own mind."

Mrs. Xu smiled lovingly: "That's why I want Zhen'er to take charge of the house while I'm here. When I'm unsure, I can help you think about it. When I'm filial piety, Zhen'er will After discussing marriage, if you marry into your husband's family, your mother-in-law may not be easy to talk to. Only when you really take charge of the family, can you understand the way of many things. If you help from the side, you won't be able to tell."

This is to bring Xu Wanzhen with her and teach her the duties of a housekeeper as a mistress.For Xu Wanzhen, this is wealth that can accompany her throughout her life.In the Gaomang Dynasty, there were not many stages for women to perform.No matter if she is a daughter of a peasant family or a daughter of a wealthy family, no matter whether she was raised with meticulous care before she got married, or was raised with simple food and plain food.Once a woman is married, she has only one destiny: to be a husband and a child.

And in a wealthy family, as the eldest daughter-in-law, there is still a place to display her strengths: to be in charge of the middle class.But it is not an easy task to keep the mansion of hundreds of people in order.At that time, you will find that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that you learned when you were a girl are not helpful, and even female celebrities and cooking skills are just icing on the cake.

Which of the daughter-in-laws who have a good reputation in Beijing was not taught to run the house by their own aunt when they were young girls?Even if you are not the eldest daughter-in-law, you must know the ways of the back house, and you will not make stupid mistakes and lose your husband's favor.Therefore, there is an unwritten rule when wealthy families marry a daughter-in-law, the first consideration is the young lady who is taught by the aunt.Only by marrying can the back house be stable and the children educated.

Xu Wanzhen can naturally understand Mrs. Xu's good intentions.She lacks the guidance of her mother now, but she is raised by Mrs. Xu. With Mrs. Xu's reputation back then, she can make up for this deficiency.He replied: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will study hard."

As the sky was getting darker, the faint reading sounds from the outer courtyard gradually became rarer.The entire "Songxi Academy" gradually lit up candles and gradually quieted down.

Wu Niangzi untied Old Master Tu's bun, waited for him to rest, and talked with him: "Wanzhen is indeed as Mrs. Xu said in her letter, she is a rare and good girl."

Hearing this, Old Master Tu showed a smug smile, as pure as a child, and said: "Where can the children taught by Qionghua be so bad?" Twirling his beard, he said: "But tomorrow we still need to take a good test. There is also this child Wenyu, I heard from Qionghua that he has completed enlightenment, let me see if he is good at reading."

Wu Niangzi pursed her lips and smiled, since she received the news that Xu's family was going to Beijing in the past year, Old Master Tu's spirit has always been very good, and most of his illnesses have been cured immediately.This time I finally saw the grandparents and grandchildren of the Xu family. Although they didn't show it on the surface, they were extremely happy in their hearts.

Wen Yan said: "In this case, the old man should rest well today. Only tomorrow will he be able to test his great-grandson."

Wen Han lived inside, Tu Bowen rubbed his forehead, he had already heard what happened in the flower hall after lunch.His mother's greed for money and her condescending attitude towards Xu's family made him feel deeply powerless and had a splitting headache.

Mrs. Li stepped forward, stretched out her bare hands, and gently massaged his temples on his head to relieve his headache.

Tu Bowen leaned tiredly in Li's arms, and asked weakly: "You mean, do I give up my official career and go into business, so that my mother can not value money?"

Mrs. Li married him, and the two have always been husband and wife, with a deep relationship.Her demeanor is elegant, gentle and considerate, and she has been cared for by her husband for many years, her face is radiant, and she looks much younger than her actual age.If it hadn't been for the birth of two daughters, she would not have had any more children, and under Lin's coercion, she would not have turned the face of the big maid beside her, Pan Qing, into Tu Bowen's roommate.

But Mrs. Li is a smart person, and never confronted her mother-in-law Mrs. Lin, nor did she take what Mrs. Lin accused her of.After Aunt Qing gave birth to the eldest son, Tu Bowen spent most of his time in the back house with her.

As a son, how could he be dissatisfied with his mother's behavior?If you show it, you will be accused of being unfilial.Today's emperor governs the country with filial piety, once the label of "unfilial piety" is confirmed, there will be no future in official career.Tu Bowen could only complain to his wife.

Mrs. Li was startled when she heard the words, and said: "My husband must never have such thoughts. My mother only cares about money so much when she was poor when she was young. There is absolutely no intention of letting my husband resign from office and start a business."
