The sixth round of the first confrontation sees the real chapter

Because Jia Mu was still alive, Jia Amnesty did not ask his family brother Jia Jing to separate the family, and Rongxi Hall was still lived by Jia Mu to show his filial piety.Xu Hui stood in front of the door, wrapped in a long gown with a brocade pattern of clouds and geese, rolled wide and black, with a black neckline, and sighed silently as she looked at the blooming flowers outside.She frowned slightly, her unpainted face was a bit haggard, it was all due to the exhaustion of managing the Rongguo Mansion's affairs with all her heart these days.

If you are not in charge, you really don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. The more than 100 people in Rongguo Mansion spend a lot of money just on food. Fortunately, there are shops in the mansion that are open to the outside world, and there are several rice-producing vegetables and melons in the south. If you want to be Zhuangzi of fruit, otherwise you will have a headache just thinking about income.That's all right, Jia Min is sick again at this time, Jia's mother has to use ginseng to stew three meals a day for her daughter, not the best wild ginseng, the expense alone is enough Not to mention that Mrs. Wang has just given birth and needs to eat this tonic and that to keep her healthy.

"Mommy, if this continues, the income of our mansion will be spent in three months." Xu Hui herself is also worried about this matter, "It's better to find a chance to talk to the old lady."

"Now the old lady is only thinking about Miss Min's illness, how can she take care of so much." Li Nanny said, "The old slave thinks that since the second wife is out of confinement, the second wife should share some of the affairs in this house. Yes. My wife has just recovered, and if she gets hurt again, I'm afraid she will have to continue to take care of her."

"That's right, then you have time to talk to the old lady. The left and right old ladies like the second room. It's exactly what the old lady wants to give away the power of the housekeeper like this." Xu Hui turned around and walked back to the house. Here, let Jinxiu and Pianran bring the purse that she hadn't finished, "I remember there were three or two jewelry shops in my dowry, who is in charge now?"

"It's the son of this old slave." Nanny Li said.

"It turned out to be Li Yuan, so I don't worry about it." A woman can't do without a lot of private money. Looking at the money in the public account, Xu Hui knows that it will only last ten years at most. Rongguo Mansion must be If you are going to lose, you might as well save up some money for yourself now, it will be a way out when the time comes. "Ask Li Yuan to come in when you have time. Our mansion looks full of flowers, but in fact it's not all empty. We have to think about ourselves."

"Ma'am is very right." Nanny Li knew it in her heart, so she responded with a smile.

Mother Jia was very satisfied with Xu Hui's performance of distributing the housekeeping power to Wang.It is still Jia Daishan's filial piety, and Jia's mother still has the face to live in Rongxi Hall.But when Jia Shen inherits the title after she is filial piety, she will retire sooner or later.It's not that she hasn't thought about giving Rongxitang to her second son, and her elder son dare not refuse just because of her status.It's just that the eldest daughter-in-law's family is not a vegetarian. Seeing that the Xu family is becoming more and more worry-free for the emperor, and there seems to be a trend of suppressing the Wang family in the court, she must be more cautious.

"Political daughter-in-law, are you still proficient in housekeeping these days?" Compared to the quiet and stable Xu Hui, Jia's mother likes the cheerful Wang family. When Xu Hui was the housekeeper, Jia's mother was not so gentle.

Xu Hui stroked the mutton white magnolia flowers on the bun, as if she hadn't seen Jia Mu's gentle attitude towards Wang Shi, but silently nodded and held the teacup, listening to Jia Mu's conversation with Wang Shi with a smile.

"Everything is going well." Mrs. Wang gave Xu Hui a haughty look, and said again, "It's just that I looked through the old account books and found that some expenditures are far from the current ones. People colluded with each other to fill their own pockets and deceived the sister-in-law."

"Oh, such a thing happened?" Xu Hui raised her eyes and saw Mother Jia gave herself a displeased look, and asked, "How many days did it happen?"

Like a victor, Wang asked someone to hand over the opened account book to Xu Hui, and said, "It's just these few pages. Those bird's nest abalones and high-quality wild ginseng are spent extremely quickly, and I don't know what's going on." Sister-in-law, take a closer look, so as not to be misunderstood that you are pocketing your own money, that would be bad."

"It turns out that the second brother and sister are talking about these pages." Xu Hui can confirm what's going on with just a glance, "The wild ginseng was used for my younger sister's stew. My younger sister is weak, and the medicinal materials used are natural. If it's the best, the old lady knows about it;" She smiled again, "As for those bird's nest abalones, didn't the second brother and sister say some time ago that they were weak and needed food supplements? These were collected by the second brother and sister It was also my negligence, I forgot to explain clearly to my second sibling, it gave you a headache."

Wang frowned, and after glancing at Jia's mother, she remained silent.She ate those high-quality bird's nests, and she didn't miss three meals a day; the abalone also made porridge and sent it to Zhu'er, but it didn't feel like it was consumed too much. Could it be that Xu Hui swallowed some of it privately, and then Fall on her?In fact, Mrs. Wang didn't think about it herself, and the people around her were not vegetarians, and one or two taels of the things she brought back must have been shared by those slaves. Of course, it was a lot of consumption.

There was no displeasure on Jia Mu's calm face, but secretly she gave Wang a reproachful look.It is understandable that Min'er is delicate and expensive, why do you need to learn from other people's food supplements when you are strong and strong?Frankly speaking, no matter how many children Wang gave birth to Jia Zheng, she still can't compare to Jia Min's status in Jia's mother's heart.

Xu Hui, however, understood Mother Jia's eyes, and said with a smile: "Second brother and sister are also the first time such a comprehensive housekeeper, and some mistakes can be forgiven. I have been in poor health recently, and the doctor said it was left behind. The root cause of the disease has recurred, so I entrust the second sibling to take care of the affairs of the mansion."

Compared with the round and smooth Wang family, Xu Hui's body is really much slender, on the contrary, she looks more like a person whose body is deficient and needs to be nourished.But only the girls close to Xu Hui know that Xu Hui's body has actually recovered early in the morning, and the paleness on her face she sees now is just a deliberate make-up.Her physique is that she doesn't get fat no matter what she eats, while Wang's is naturally slightly plump, and because she has just given birth and has not lost weight, a comparison between the two makes people feel that Xu Hui's words are indeed true.

"Looking at your appearance, I know that you are tired recently. It's best to go back and rest. The affairs of the mansion should be watched by the daughter-in-law of the government." She didn't like the old old lady, so she didn't like the old lady Xu Hui, who was ordered by Jia She.Although Xu Hui is filial and generous, Mother Jia feels awkward no matter how she looks at it, so it is better to help Wang to get up first.

Xu Hui didn't mind, the most important thing for her at the moment was to earn money for herself, and the mess of Rongguo Mansion was left to Wang's care.Besides, she is a rightful wife of the first wife of the eldest family. In the future, there will be so many children in the second bedroom, and Mrs. Wang may be too busy. Shouldn't the power of the housekeeper be returned to her obediently?

The Seventh Ingenious Jewelry Workshop

After handing over the power of the housekeeper to Mrs. Wang, Xu Hui was very happy and relaxed. These days, she has been nestling in her room thinking about what business to do in her shop.In the dowry under her name, besides the three villages that grow ordinary fruits and vegetables, there are two hot spring villages. Usually, you can go to the hot springs to relax, but you can’t think of any way to make money for the time being, so you can’t say Maybe it's the development of hot spring travel.After all the calculations, apart from the more income from the restaurant business, it is clothing and jewelry.

There is always a piece of clothing missing in a woman's wardrobe. This sentence is very applicable whether it is placed in the present or in ancient times.Xu Hui has secretly observed that the female relatives in the Rongguo Mansion, from the mother of Jia down to the sweeping woman, always have a few decorations on their heads and hands.Jia's mother likes to tie her hair with a forehead inlaid with various precious stones; Wang's and Jia Min's look like a mobile jewelry display library; She has a good heart.Although the girls below don't have much money in their hands, they occasionally add a few pieces of jewelry for themselves.

The purchasing power of a woman is infinite, Xu Hui planned for several days, then called Li Yuan, the son of Li Nanny, and gave him the planning plan that she had written these days.Of course, she also kept an eye on it. After all, she came up with it after all the hard work. Although Nanny Li is a confidant, she and her son are two individuals after all. Li Yuan trusted her completely, so the plan she handed to Li Yuan was only a half-finished product, and the rest depended on whether Li Yuan could comprehend it himself.

"I heard that you are planning to open another jewelry shop." Jia Amnesty stayed at Xu Hui's place for the past few days, but he just slept under the quilt, and Xu Hui did not avoid him to do things.Just after breakfast that day, Jia Amnesty asked.

"Yeah, I was in charge of the house before, and found that the income in the mansion was really low, so I planned to use my own capital to try it out first, and if I could add some income, I would use my grandfather's money to add a few shops." Xu Hui It took me a long time to think about these words, so that I would save myself from finding other words to prevaricate if my shop is discovered in the future.

"It's okay, you don't have to use the methods you can use to increase income on your grandfather." It's not that Jia Amnesty doesn't know what his mother thinks. He has seen the people in the second room arrogance these days because they have the power to manage affairs. I also feel uncomfortable, and now I don't agree with my wife to disclose the way of making money, "Your shop is also my share."
