An old lady's life

The two wives of the Rong Mansion are pregnant, so naturally they can no longer work on the government affairs, so just a few months after marrying into the Rong Mansion, the newly married Princess Pinghui took over the power of the housekeeper, and Zhang and Wang each had a good pregnancy. .Of course, the process of housekeepers in each mansion is not much different, but the details are different. Princess Pinghui only observed for a few months, and did not dare to make a decision lightly on many things, so the first month Princess Pinghui had no choice but to Ask grandma.

Among the rich and powerful families, the slaves who win face with their masters are more honorable than the unfavored sons and daughters. These sons and daughters have to respect the slaves around their parents and grandmothers as elders, but since Hongye rectified that year After Rong Mansion, not only Rong Mansion but also the bad habit of Ning Mansion next door has disappeared.

"A master is a master, and a servant is a servant. Don't confuse this concept. No matter who the servant is, even the servant next to me, an old lady, it is the same. You can't pretend to be a tiger in my name. The servant just needs to be a slave. The master will not punish the servants innocently for things that are well done. The rules of our family are like this. The servants have done the errands, and the house can see them. There will be rewards in different proportions every month, and there will be year-end bonuses at the end of the year. , No matter who is dispatched to do the work, it is not allowed to give extra rewards, this is wrong, it is the duty of servants to do the work well."

After Hongye came to report the matter, Princess Pinghui left behind to teach her the rules of the mansion carefully, "I would rather get a high bonus every month to encourage the enthusiasm of the servants, and not foster the inertia of the servants, otherwise the house will be destroyed in the long run. There will be a lot of servants who bully the master, if a master's life is worse than a servant, then this mansion is not far from being defeated."

Princess Pinghui listened carefully. She never took care of the family in Yijun Wangfu, but only took care of her mother's dowry. After thinking about it carefully, my grandmother was right. I voluntarily rewarded servants with high bonuses. I am happy, but if I send a servant to do everything and have to give a reward for everything, I will definitely not be happy in my heart, but I am afraid of the servant's status in the mansion, so I have to do this.

"Grandmother's teachings, the granddaughter-in-law will keep in mind."

Hong Ye smiled and said: "Of course money is touching, these are not absolute. As the master and wife of the family, you must know how to distinguish whether the servants are fooling you. It all depends on the sharp eyes of the master and wife. Over the years, our family Getting used to this kind of management method will indeed save a lot of unnecessary troubles, and let the servants gather together, but it's different outside, Hu'er grew up watching the way in the house, but it must be timely when dealing with outsiders."

Princess Pinghui is good at observation. Since she married into the Jia family, except for a few mistakes in her yard in the first two or three days, she has not done anything wrong since then. She is also observing and finds that the mansion is functioning very well. , as long as she assigned the affairs in her yard to the maids, the maids did it quickly and well, and never neglected her.

"Yes, grandson-in-law understands." The way in the mansion is not suitable for outsiders. It must be clearly distinguished that Jia Hu has already entered the Imperial Academy. , as long as you can mess things up.

"Although the water is clear, there will be no fish, but we can't tolerate this. In this world, conspiracy is always more open than conspiracy. When the water is muddy, let's make it clear. We must not let ourselves become muddy." Hongye smiled again. Said.

Princess Pinghui nodded blissfully: "Grandmother's teachings, granddaughter-in-law will always remember."

Hong Ye nodded and looked at the account book on the table: "Take this account book back and read it carefully. The imperial court also announced a new accounting method and concise and clear figures. You have to learn this. After you learn it, it will be very simple in the future. In our family, Hu'er learned it. He is young and learns quickly. Your father and second uncle can't learn it. Your mother and second aunt are like this. It's not suitable for you to use your brain too much. It will make you tired. "

A smile flashed across Princess Pinghui's face, and she nodded: "I'm not tired, and my granddaughter-in-law is very happy to share the worries of my grandmother and mother." She planned to go to the household department to study during the day, and the household department has special people to teach These wives and wives who come to study should consult him again in the evening or when Jia Hu has time, so that there will be no delay.

After that, Hongye didn't pay attention to how Princess Pinghui learned how to make accounts and read books. However, within a month, Princess Pinghui took over all the affairs of the mansion and managed Rongfu in an orderly manner, which shows that she has a high degree of plasticity.

Jia Zhu's letter from home has arrived. Jia Zhu hasn't come back for more than a year since his study tour in the spring of 31. It's just that the letters arrive every month. Along with the letters, there are also the things he bought during his study tour. Various gifts, specialty products, etc. He knew that his mother and aunt were pregnant, and the letter was full of worrying words. The aunt was over forty years old, and his mother was about to turn 40. He planned to leave for Beijing soon.

At this time, Jia Zhu was in the southwest side, originally planned to go to the sea from the southwest side, and then return to Beijing by sea boat on the return journey, so that he would almost return to Beijing for the New Year.

However, compared to studying abroad, the safety of his mother is more important, and he knows what he cares most about.

This is what Jia Zhu said in the letter to her grandmother, but the letter to her parents is to report good news but not worry. Wang knows that her son is coming back, so she is naturally happy. Hongye didn't tell Wang Jia Zhu's worries, otherwise she would Knowing that, I will definitely write to Jia Zhu to tell Jia Zhu that she is fine and let him stick to the previous plan.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather was already the hottest at this time, but since the fan came out, and with the improvement of the fan, the air volume from the fan has become larger and larger, and Emperor Changping has never been in the palace again. I went out to escape the heat during the scorching heat, and in the past two years, the court has been busy interpreting books from outside the sky, who wants to play?

Jia Zhu came back in a hurry, her whole body was darker than Heitan, she grinned and her teeth were the whitest.

Seeing her son like this, Wang's eyes widened, "Pearl, why are you so dark? You won't be walking under the sun all day, right?"

She glanced at the attendants who didn't come in from the corridor, and the meaning in her eyes was clear, why didn't these people persuade them?

Jia Zhu first bowed to the elders, raised his head and saw his mother's expression, he smiled and couldn't bear to look directly at him, he turned his head and sent his followers down to each house, since he didn't need them for the time being, they also went back to rest and ran after him for a while It's not easy for many years.

Hongye coughed, and Jia Zhu said, "It's hot, so I'll get tanned naturally. Don't worry, mother, it will be back to normal soon." After one winter, people will be tanned.

Because Zhang and Wang are wearing thin clothes, their abdomens have begun to have obvious curvature, but Zhang's complexion is better than Wang's. Hongye is wondering if it's because Wang gave birth to Qiong and became pregnant without taking care of her?

It will be close to noon, the sun is hot in the sky, and Jia Zhu is not left in the red leaves. Let their brothers and sisters support Wang back to the West Courtyard to talk, and let Princess Pinghui support Zhang back to Rongxi Hall. As for lunch, they will have dinner in their respective Just solve it in the yard.

A few days after Jia Zhu came back, Jia Lian also came back. The skin color of the two brothers was so different that Hongye couldn't help but find it funny.

Jia Lian can rest at home for half a month this time, and then he may not be back until the end of the year. He doesn't know what he wants to do, but he just obeys the instructor's arrangement.

During the rest period at home, Jia Lian stayed with Zhang Shi all day long. Zhang Shi had speculated about what his son was doing now, and was quite worried about his son's safety.

"Mother, don't worry, we're still young, the school won't let us do dangerous things, we just follow along to see and learn." Jia Lian said eloquently.

Ever since Hongye knew that Jia Lian was gradually accepting missions with the soldiers of the army, she also brought Jia Lian a peace talisman. When Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were on their study tours, she personally brought them for them, and the effect was absolutely good. , Jia Amnesty and the others were aware of it, but they didn't get to the bottom of it.

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile: "You have grown up too. When you come back after going out for two months, mother will see that you have grown taller. From now on, Lian'er will be the tallest person in our family."

This remark made Jia Lian very proud. He is not yet 14 years old, and his height is almost the same as that of his elder brother and second brother.

"Don't worry, mother. I will apply to the school in the next year. When mother gives birth, I will definitely be at home." But he was over 40 years old, so he couldn't help but fell on his mother's knee after thinking about it this way.

Mrs. Zhang rubbed her son's head with a smile. The child had been clinging to her since she was a child, and this situation gradually changed after she was three years old.

"Don't worry, Lian'er. My mother is in good health. The imperial doctor also said that she will be able to give birth safely. Your Aunt Lin comes to our house every now and then to check the pulse of your second aunt and me. Your Aunt Lin's medical skills are beyond words."

On the second day, Jia Lian first went to Zhang's house to visit his grandfather and grandmother, and then went to Lin's house to visit Jia Min in the afternoon. Jia Min was also in good condition. After all, she was more than ten years younger than when she was pregnant with Lin Zhen and Lin Wei and Lin Meng. It's better, the child doesn't bother the mother.

"How long has Lian'er been at home this time? But we haven't seen each other for two months, and Lian'er has grown taller again." Jia Min raised her head, "Before, she was taller than my aunt, but now she grows taller."

Jia Lian chuckled, talked with her aunt for a while, and then went to see the old lady. Ai Cao was amazed to see Jia Lian's appearance and height.But it didn't detract from the beauty of his face.

After being pestered by two little cousins ​​for a while, he almost didn't recognize Lin Wei and Lin Meng, which made Lin Wei and Lin Meng very happy. They don't like people who can't recognize them clearly, and they can tell them apart. Their person, they think this person is so amazing!

In this way, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Lian left home the next day, and this time it really took years to come back.On the Rongfu side, although the two pregnant women couldn't do much because of the miscarriage, they were free, and Jia Zhu was 16 years old, and it was time to see each other again. Zhang and Wang came together Together, we will pick up Miss Qianjin in Jingzhong.

Jia Zhu had seen the eldest brother's blind date before, and this time it was his turn, he was quite helpless, but he still had to obey his mother's wishes. Fortunately, his mother didn't force him, just nagging routinely.

And Jia Zhu has to prepare for the 34-year imperial examination. Therefore, in addition to studying at home and accompanying his mother, he also occasionally participates in some exchange events between students, and learns from others. He can not only discover his own shortcomings, but also see more. Knowledge is broad, why not do it?
