Edge of the Red Chamber

When Aunt Ji entered the door, she saw Mu Jin and Haitang sitting on the platform talking. When the two saw Aunt Ji coming in, they quickly got up and opened the curtain, "Mother Ji is here."

Mother Ji asked, "Grandma still looks at the accounts?"

Haitang said: "The old lady said, she won't go tomorrow, isn't grandma watching the accounts?"

Pearl and Xi'er stood outside, one tied the knot and the other split the black pearl thread. Seeing Mother Ji coming in, they wanted to get up. Mother Ji waved her hand to signal them to sit down.

There was a stack of ledger books on the table, Xiangluo was reading something aside, and Lu held a pen in his hand, listening to something, asking something, and memorizing something.Dan Ruo filled the mung bean juice, turned around and saw Mother Ji came in with the curtain lifted, and said with a smile: "Mother Ji is here."

Mrs. Lu looked up and saw that it was Nanny Ji, so she smiled and said, "Mom is here, just in time, I have a good bowl of mung bean juice here, and Mom will also eat a bowl." He ordered the little maid to carry the house, and Dan Ruo, "Put a bowl for mom, and bring that plate of yam cake, just in time for mom to eat." He didn't stop writing, lowered his head and just continued: "I'll finish writing this, and mom will sit down for a while."

Mother Ji first waved her hand to signal the little girl who moved the house not to be too busy. After listening to the words, she said: "Grandma is busy, don't pay attention to me."

The little maid still brought in a scorpion, but Mammy Ji refused to sit down, Danruo knew that she was following the rules, and signaled the little maid not to persuade Mammy Ji, and moved another foot over to Mammy Ji to sit on, and she served it on a camphorwood tea tray. I bought mung bean juice and yam cake, and put them on the twig for Mother Ji to use by herself.

Nanny Ji took her hand, but glanced at Lu Shi, and asked in a low voice, "Grandma has been seeing this since she came back?"

"Isn't it?" Dan Ruo said, took a foot and sat opposite to Nanny Ji, and said: "Since I came back from the story hall in the morning, grandma has been thinking about it, and I haven't even had a good meal."

While speaking, Lu Shi had already put down his pen, and Dan Ruo hurriedly got up to serve her.Nanny Ji also got up to greet her, and said: "Grandma should also take care of herself. As the old saying goes, you have to eat every bite, and you have to do things one by one. For example, you have to read this account one by one. Always keep your head down like this, and watch your neck get sore."

Lu personally took Mother Ji's hand, sat down at the table, and said: "Mom eats too, it's hot, just to cool off the heat."

"I eat it, and grandma eats it too." After finishing speaking, he sat down on his feet and ate it, and then said: "This yam cake is really interesting to make. It's sweet inside, but I don't know what kind of filling it is."

Lu Shi said: "The stuffing is made by mixing several kinds of fruit jams made in the past years in the kitchen."

Nanny Ji laughed and said: "No wonder I tasted the taste of several fruits," and asked: "It's also hard to understand how they came up with that fruit to make sauce, and it's so delicious."

"As long as you put your mind to it, is there any way you can't come up with?" This is what Daiyu said when Lu Shi ate jam for the first time. Now that I think about it, it really makes sense, and said: "Mom likes it. Hurry up and tell the kitchen to do it again."

Nanny Ji said a few good words, and said: "When I came in, I heard from Haitang that the old lady will not go to the hall tomorrow."

Mrs. Lu nodded, and said: "Yes, the old lady said, the family affairs seem trivial and complicated, but in fact, not many people come to me. Come up layer by layer, only big things come to me, teach me to learn to take care of it first."

Aunt Ji was ill for a few days, and she didn't go to the affairs hall with Mrs. Lu, so she didn't quite understand Mrs. Lu's words. After thinking about it for a while, she said: "I used to be at home, and my wife took care of the family affairs. Can you get away in a day? From morning to night, there are eight hundred if not one thousand, and my wife can't even eat well. Although our family is not big, there are so many servants in such a big house. How can there be too few things? If you want to talk about big or small things, how can there be any big things in this family? If you say not big things, there is nothing small. None of the underground servants has a few minds Master, if this master makes a mistake, several things will happen."

The old lady moved here when Jia Min was seriously ill, and she is not a director, or is she being fooled by the servants below?

It's only natural for Mother Ji to think so.Lu Shi also knew that she felt sorry for herself, and was afraid that she would be fooled by the servants below if she really listened to the old lady's words, so she explained the truth in detail.

Maochu clicks Mao, Chenchu ​​is in the event hall, and Chen is about to leave.Among the ladies in charge, two more people were appointed, in case someone would make up their minds when something happened, these two chiefs were in charge of the ladies in charge, and they were in charge of the lower level, each performing their own duties.

Generally, other people's homes also click on the first card, and then get the right card, until noon, the party will disperse, and if someone has something to do in the middle, they will follow them into the house.

"Our family behaves differently from other families. One of the things is that if you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you don't do well, you will be punished. There are also rules for rewards and punishments. The master's special rewards are not counted."

Mother Ji really didn't believe it, and sighed: "There is such a thing."

Dan Ruo said with a smile: "There is something even rarer. A torture hall was set up to catch those who steal, rape and play tricks."

Xiang Luo flipped through a thin booklet, raised it, and said, "What mistakes did you make, what punishment did you receive, everything is listed in detail. The old lady also said that if you meet someone you haven't met, you can go back and look at it again." Add it." Saying that, he laughed to himself.

Nanny Ji also laughed, and said: "I really have never seen someone behave like this." She also said: "When my wife was around, she also behaved like this?" She didn't know if this was good, she just wanted to behave differently from others , in the end not so good.

The old lady didn't mention it, and it's not easy for Lu to ask, but Lu guessed that Jia Min set the family rules.

After returning to the door, Lin Yu brought in a lot of account books, a total of twelve shops, and three Zhuangzi's. Among them, the behavior was the same as at home.

"I don't know about this, but I just looked at it with blank eyes, and it's better than our family's, and people don't feel troubled."

Nanny Ji was still not at ease, but seeing that Mrs. Lu agreed so much, it was hard to say.Thinking about it again, these behaviors are also different from other people's families in private, but they are all the same on the surface, so it doesn't matter.Even if it is not good, it will be changed slowly in the future.
