Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

"What's going on?" Mrs. Zhang was stunned, not knowing what Ai Ruo said.

"The family has already been divided. Before, I was helping you with the housekeeping. You took the lead in everything, and I didn't bring any people here. The first room and the second room have clear latitude and longitude. Now, I don't want to separate. I really come back , there must be a charter." Ai Ruo said seriously.

"How are you doing?" She said she was relieved, but after she really lived in Rongxi Hall, she had truly become the hostess of this mansion, and her mentality was actually different.At this time, Ai Ruoren hadn't come back yet, but she asked her how she was doing, and why she didn't make Mrs. Zhang startled.

"According to me, it's still the same as before. I'm only the housekeeper for the first room now, just to take the lead. Every day, I come over in the morning and take care of the affairs in the flower hall. When the work is over, I will go back; the second room is still the second room, after all, we have already separated. When we go out, we go to our own houses; people from the second room are not allowed to enter the mansion indiscriminately, so as to avoid confusion; all expenses are naturally the same as before, they belong to the second room and have nothing to do with the first room, what do you think?"

Seeing Zhang's question, Ai Ruo felt a bit chilly in her heart. In fact, everyone was like Lei Feng. When she was Lei Feng, she really didn't point to anyone to thank her, but she really didn't thank anyone. When she was a little defensive, she still felt depressed.For example, now, so she said it very bluntly, she came to manage Da Fang's house for Da Fang, but the second house was still the second house, and had nothing to do with Da Fang.If they don't come back, they will be a family again.

"Your people can't come?" Zhang's expression eased, but he frowned again, as if thinking of something.

"Why do you want to come here? Are there not enough servants here?" Ai Ruo never thought that her own people would come to the Rongfu, and it was too late for her to cut, so how could she be like that idiot Wang.Can't take it off?

"If you do this, I'm afraid the old lady will be more careful." Mrs. Zhang is also the master of Jiuqiao Linglong, and she suddenly understands that they are not afraid of taking advantage of the big house.But I don't want Jia's mother to think that the second room wants to take advantage of it, and take advantage of the opportunity, so my people won't come in.If you don't have any handle, what else can you do to me.You can get what you want, but it is not easy to actually operate it.

"The old man doesn't care about these mundane things, anyway, it was the same when we lived in the mansion before. He shouldn't care. I'm a rough person, I can't think of you carefully, let's see if it works?" Ai Ruo looked at Zhang with a smile .

"You, I don't know whether you are smart or stupid. There are only a few people in your courtyard. Even if it is paid for here, how much is it worth to supply? Why bother to find it? The same goes for food, everyone eats the same, you guys If you start your own business, the old lady may still think that you despise the mansion! You are the housekeeper, everything is your own, and then you spend it from the mansion, and spread it all over the place. There is no shame in it. Just do things like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon " Mrs. Zhang smiled and shook her head, and said with a light smile.

"Really, now that you know why you are sick and old, you can't get better! Really, if it's good, just go around ten times and eight times to say that you are not tired. I will be tired for you. You can't say, let the people in my hospital, as long as Don't interfere with the operation of the mansion, let the mansion pay and eat, just treat us as people who serve us. It won't make the old man uncomfortable, and cut off the mouth of others?" Ai Ruo vomits blood, there is a reason for this poor health , Did you see that, if it's good, it's not good to say it.

"If I say that, what are you going to do? I'm afraid you still think I'm afraid you guys want to seize power." Mrs. Zhang shook her head with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid?" Ai Ruo sneered, even if Mrs. Zhang was ill at this time, she couldn't swallow that breath.

"What is there to be afraid of? As you said, what does everything in this mansion have to do with me? As the old saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. You have a good face; if you don't read it, what can I do. It's better for you to be ignorant and miss me a little bit, and I will be grateful for taking care of Hu'er and Lian'er in the future." Zhang said with a slight smile , although there was a flash of defense just now, but Ai Ruo understood after a while, or she would not let Ai Ruo go to work with resentment no matter what, no one would say nice words.

"I never said that, don't let me wrongly offend anyone." Ai Ruo hurriedly dismissed it, joking, Jia Amnesty heard this, and hated himself to death.

"Look at your guts!" Mrs. Zhang spat at her again, called the nurse next to her, took a box, and gently handed it to Ai Ruo.

"What?" Ai Ruo didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to have something for herself, so it was a bit strange.

"My dowry list, and the list of some of the master's private houses. There are three copies, one for you, one for the master, and one for my natal family. I asked the master to move the things to the small warehouse at the back and put on three locks. There is still a key in the box." Mrs. Zhang looked at Ai Ruo with a smile, obviously, at this time, she already had the intention of asking her to be alone.

Ai Ruo stared at the box without thinking too much. It seems that Mrs. Zhang is really not stupid. She taught her to wrestle with each other, but Mrs. Zhang thought of a three-way restraint. Three points fix a plane. Three points are actually the most stable. .

Mrs. Zhang herself has no dowry and has been noble for generations. Her biggest dowry is her reputation.So she cleverly used her last feelings for Jia She, put Jia She's private house in her dowry, and left it to her own children, protecting her son's interests to the greatest extent.

"Is there a farm and a shop in it?" Ai Ruo didn't answer, but waved his hand, letting people put it aside, thinking about more realistic issues, because this is not only a dead thing, but there are too many things involved in it.She had to ask clearly before deciding whether to accept or not.

"Yes!" Mrs. Zhang smiled, and now she felt at ease, kind of, as expected, she didn't feel that she was entrusted with inhumanity.

"Then how to deal with it? Who will manage the accounts and handle the proceeds?" Ai Ruo didn't bother to say polite words, the most direct.

"It's all up to you. I'll have someone send you the account books. The house deeds and land deeds are locked in the warehouse, and no one from the three sides can get them out. No one can get them out. You should treat the proceeds as I will give you to look after my children." Fee." Zhang said lightly.

These days, Mrs. Zhang has been talking to Jia She about what to do if she is gone.From the beginning, Jia She refused to listen, and then slowly calmed down and listened to her arrangements for the funeral. Originally, what Zhang thought was that the proceeds should be handed over to Jia She, after all, he is a big man, and he must have something private Money, is it difficult to go out to socialize and ask the younger brother and daughter-in-law if they want money?Jia Amnesty objected.From Jia She's point of view, the orphans have been left alone, and the children have to be taken care of by younger siblings, but they don't even give her the income.Can she feel better?It's better to spend money to buy peace of mind, but it's only a few thousand taels of silver a year.I am a big man with a title.I have an errand, so I can't get this little money.

In fact, Mrs. Zhang's saying that she handed it over to Jia She is also a polite word. She really doesn't think Jia She will not renew the string because of herself, just like what she just said, if there is a stepmother, there will be a step-father. She really gave the proceeds to Jia She. In the future, he was discovered by his step-wife.Don't make a fuss, when the time comes, say no, Jia Amnesty will have to regret it.I wanted to say something beautiful first, and then after a few twists and turns.Let the matter go back and hand it over to the second room for management, but it will be quieter.Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty actually mentioned it by himself, and the couple hugged each other and cried, but their hearts became closer.

After discussing with Jia Amnesty, everything is cleared and locked, and Ai Ruo is limited even if he wants to be greedy.Someone has to manage the income, someone who manages it.Whether they are ignorant of their conscience or not, they actually can't control it.It's better to make a whole favor and give it to Ai Ruo, just asking her to help take care of her son.I have to say that Mrs. Zhang and Jia Amnesty really worked hard.

"It seems that I'm going to get rich." Ai Ruo didn't bother to refuse, and stared into Zhang's eyes, "Is it really that thoughtful?"

"Then tell me. Who can I hand it over to? Who can I hand it over to, and can I guarantee that the proceeds will be handed over to Hu'er and Lian'er intact?" Mrs. Zhang sighed a long time.

Ai Ruo nodded. This is the truth. Give it to Jia She. If Jia She really turned into that bastard in the red building, let alone the profit, I'm afraid the warehouse will have to be pried away; Well, maybe it’s not as good as Jia She; if you hand it over to Zhang’s family, you’ll offend Jia She, because it’s clear that if you don’t believe him, it will be a thorn in Jia She’s heart. Of course, it’s safe for Zhang to hand it over to his parents. But how long can parents live?The sister-in-law is an outsider, they still have their own children, they can't think about their children, they can't think about the principal, and they may not be able to keep the income, so in fact, they are her only choice.

"You have to leave a letter to the children, and you should say clearly, Yi, I won't say that I don't want yours, but I really can't guarantee that there is no mistake in the middle. When children grow up, there are always things like this, They also have social activities, and they all cost money. The regulations in the mansion may not be enough; there are other things that cannot be done. Save me from being unclear in the future." Ai Ruo thought about it.

"I will tell them that I will give you the proceeds, and they have no right to ask or pursue how you like to use them." Mrs. Zhang liked Ai Ruo's attitude. She didn't refuse, and she didn't promise that she would use the proceeds, but , but she promised that she would take care of the children.As far as Zhang Shi is concerned, as long as she has this guarantee, she will not be afraid of anything.

Ai Ruo nodded, opened the box, checked with Mrs. Zhang one by one, and then wrote a delivery receipt, both of them pressed their fingerprints, and the nurses of Zhou Rui's family and Mrs. Zhang's next to her also pressed their fingerprints, showing that Each of them was a witness for his master.Ai Ruo took another look, wiped his hands, handed the box to Zhou Rui's family, and looked back at Mrs. Zhang, "Are you more at ease this time?"

"Yes, it seems that I can live a few more days." Zhang was really relieved.

Ai Ruo shook his head, "I still want to live, you have to let your son remember what you look like."

Mrs. Zhang turned her head to look at Jia Lian, then quickly turned her head the other way, unable to speak any more.

Jia Yuan handed a piece of handkerchief to Mrs Zhang, Mrs Zhang smiled through tears, and relieved the sorrow just now, but the servants in the house couldn't laugh at all.
