188: Zi Jin is reorganizing the inner house and has no intention of catching clues. Sometimes the fight is just for one breath. If Zi Jin can't suppress Luo Jue forcefully, Luo Jue won't be able to cause any trouble in the future. Because this banquet is

In Anshun Mansion, if Zi Jin really left halfway, it would definitely arouse everyone's speculation, and there would always be a few words spread. Not to mention that the reputation of Anshun Mansion would be stained by poor hospitality.

If Mrs. Qi heard about what happened today, it would be a big trouble for Luo Jue. A young married woman would actually say such shameless words outside. Luo Jue would also be in a very difficult situation in the future.

Luo Jue only thought that Zi Jin would definitely retreat when faced with three against one in the Anshun Marquis Mansion. After being ridiculed by them, Luo Jue felt relieved, but he never expected that the three of them would

The legitimate daughter actually didn't even know how to deal with being a concubine, and in the end she ended up having to apologize personally. Even though she chewed a mouth full of silver teeth, she could only lose her teeth and swallow her blood.

Since returning from the Anshun Marquis Mansion that day, Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Shen have become more and more wary of Zi Jin. Their sister-in-law is really too powerful. They won a perfect victory with one against three that day, which made them feel a little sad.

A shadow fell. Generally, when you know that your enemy is extremely powerful, you will always become cautious and consider every step you take.

Because of this, Zi Jin had rare leisure time. After several months of marriage, she could finally sort out her An Yuan.

An Yuan is a courtyard with three entrances, and there are forty or fifty girls and women, big and small. When Zi Jin first got married, there was a lot of trouble and trouble, and she never took the time to properly organize the place where she settled down.

reason.

Now that he has free time, Zi Jin will never allow any dangerous people to exist around him. Reclining on the soft pillow of lake blue elastomeric ink, Zi Jin thinks about what Ye Mingxuan said, even when eating, he must be careful

Yes, if a person lives to the point where he can’t even have a piece of food to eat, what happiness can there be in this life?

"Now the manager of the small kitchen in Anyuan is Sister-in-law Wei. She is not a child born in the Hou family, but bought from outside. I heard that her husband and son both passed away when they were fleeing in the famine years. She is a widow. She is usually taciturn and doesn't talk to anyone.

Being affectionate is just keeping your own kitchen in check, and you are a conscientious person." Zhou's mother said to Zi Jin in a low voice.

Zi Jin nodded. In fact, she also thought that since Ye Mingxuan had been very concerned about food and was not worried about the food cooked in the big kitchen, he would definitely find a cook he trusted to live in Anyuan. This Sister-in-law Wei should

Ye Mingxuan was selected from thousands of people. If she is not a child of the Hou family, she does not have to worry about being kidnapped and used. If she is a widow, she does not have to worry. Someone will use her family to threaten her. Ye Mingxuan does things cleanly and neatly.

Zi Jin smiled softly and asked again: "Have you checked the little girls under her from the Wei family?"

Mother Zhou nodded hurriedly and said: "Sister-in-law Wei seems to be a boring gourd, and the old slave seems to have an idea. When Sister-in-law Wei first entered Anyuan, I heard that many people were crammed into the small kitchen to help Sister-in-law Wei.

, but within half a year, Sister-in-law Wei kicked her out for various reasons. Later, the newly added rough girls were all bought from outside like Sister-in-law Wei, and the deeds of sale were all in the hands of the adults.

Don’t be afraid of turning things upside down.”

Zi Jin suddenly felt a little sad. Does Ye Mingxuan have to do such a thing himself? How frustrating is it for a grown man to fight with a group of women in a house? How much perseverance does it take to endure it?

"Didn't the eldest princess lend a hand to help at that time?" Zi Jin frowned, it should have been better for the eldest princess to take action.

Mother Zhou looked stunned, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I heard that the eldest princess was ill during that time."

Are you sick? Zi Jin's face froze, but he understood in his heart. He nodded silently and said, "I understand."

There was some silence in the room. White smoke rose straight from the incense burner made of white jade on the incense rack in the corner, and slowly dispersed in every corner of the room. Zi Jin did not frown, not knowing what he was thinking about.

, Zhou’s mother didn’t dare to disturb her. Ever since she entered Anyuan, Zhou’s mother had become more and more distinguished. In the past, in Yao Mansion, Zhou’s mother felt more pity for Zi Jin, but now she sees Zi Jin step by step.

The footprints were very solid, and the respect in my heart spontaneously emerged.

What's more, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. She is the steward of An Yuan, so she must set a good example so that the group of little girls below will not dare to cause trouble.

Zi Jin raised his head after a long time, nodded silently, and said: "This way we can rest assured in the kitchen for the time being. This Wei family member, please walk around with me more when you are fine. The more talkative a person is,

In fact, we know more. After all, the husband is a man, and he may not be able to figure out the little tricks between women. We must find someone who is reliable and can be used, and gradually become our arm, so that we can stand in this house.

Be stable."

Mother Zhou naturally understood this and said, "Don't worry, young lady, I know what to do."

Zi Jin nodded, thinking carefully about the various news that Zhou's mother had inquired about these days and gradually digesting it. The personnel arrangements of the big family are extremely complicated. Generally speaking, there is a general manager in the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion, who is in charge of the general affairs of the outer courtyard, and his subordinates.

There are thirteen stewards, who are in charge of the business office, attendant office, study, secretary's room, warehouse, ancestral hall, kitchen, tea room, sewing room, watch room, stable, farm, and shop. Among them, the business office is in charge of

The house handles human relations and welcomes guests and goods; the secretary is in charge of the house's account books and money exchanges; and the attendant's office is responsible for the house's guards. These three areas can best reflect the trends of the entire Hou Mansion.

As for these three offices, Xie Li, the chief steward of the Hou Mansion, is personally in charge of the affairs office, Su Cheng is the chief guard of the attendant office, and Dong Hai is the chief steward of the room department. These three people are all from Ye Qingcheng, namely Mrs. Ye.

There is no way that I can reach these three stewards with my hands so far.

In addition, Aunt Feng, who is in charge of the warehouse in the inner courtyard, Steward Xu, who is in charge of the farm, and Steward Chen, who is in charge of the shop, are all the old lady’s people, which means that all the public property of the Hou Mansion is in the hands of the old lady.

inside.

Aunt Jian, the steward of the big kitchen in the Hou Mansion, Aunt Zhao in the sewing room, Aunt Wu in the washing department, and Aunt Zheng in the purchasing department are all Du Manqiu's people. Among them, Aunt Jian and Aunt Zheng are Du Manqiu.

Their daughters, Wei Zi and Du Juan, are both the eldest girls in Du Manqiu's house. Among them, Madam Qin's companion, the second-class steward of the kitchen, and Shen's companion, Nanny Zou

He is the second manager of the sewing room.

This mansion is intricately connected, and after Zi Jin smoothed it all out, he discovered a huge thing. The eldest princess actually didn’t place anyone of her own in any important position in the mansion. Zi Jin was confused for a while.

I don't know how to describe my shock.

Currently, there are four major masters in the Hou Mansion, Ye Qingcheng, Madam Ye, Du Manqiu and the eldest princess. Among them, Ye Qingcheng is in charge of all affairs inside and outside the mansion, the most important one. Madam Ye controls the money of the Hou Mansion and is the most important one.

Respect the old Buddha, Du Manqiu is in charge of all the powerful positions in the inner courtyard, and can call the wind and rain. But the eldest princess has no hair in this room!

Zi Jin touched her forehead and sighed. She didn't know why the eldest princess did this, but one thing Zi Jin knew was how depressing it was to live under the power of others. When it came to big things, Zi Jin was not afraid of them making trouble.

It seems that when she first entered the house, Du's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suffered a big loss against her, but at that time, the future and interests of the Hou Mansion were at stake, so Zi Jin could naturally handle it. But once she fell into the relationship between the women in the inner courtyard,

During the fight, these are of no use. What Zi Jin should consider is how to slowly restore the situation in such a situation.

Du Manqiu has been in charge of the inner court for more than ten years, and his power has already been deeply rooted. How easy is it to shake him? But if he doesn't have a piece of the world here, then even a stewardess in this inner court can be more respectable than him. This is Zi Jin's point.

Yao Mansion has already experienced this.

Mother Zhou looked at Zi Jin's frowning expression and slowly advised her: "Although things are a bit tricky, just take your time and it will be fine. What's more, the most important thing for the young lady is to give birth to a legitimate son, and she will be able to do it over there."

, But the second wife of the first family does not even have a daughter, let alone a son. As long as the young lady has a legitimate son, she will be firmly on her feet."

Zi Jin shook his head, looked at Zhou's mother and said, "That's not wrong, but even if I'm pregnant, is it possible that we won't leave this yard? We are all other people's people outside the yard, so you can guard against them.

What’s more, there are some people in our yard that we can’t trust. If we want to clean them out, we need a chance. We really can’t rush them.”

Zi Jin has always been a person who prepares for a rainy day. He doesn't like to rush into battle when things happen. Instead, he is used to planning in advance and then calmly facing the challenge. But looking at the layout in front of him, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Her mother-in-law... really... really makes her have the urge to hit the wall. She is the eldest princess after all, how can she not think about herself or Ye Mingxuan at all, and let others occupy all the important positions?

, Zi Jin was tied up in everything he did, and it was difficult to find out any information.

In the evening, Ye Mingxuan came down from the Yamen. After the two of them had dinner, Zi Jin asked the serving girls to go down. Then he talked about these things to Ye Mingxuan, and finally sighed: "I have never encountered such a difficult thing. You

Tell me what should I do?"

Ye Mingxuan was stunned. To be honest, he was not proficient in some things, but he still said: "Which position do you want, I will get it for you."

Zi Jin laughed and asked, "How can you help me do it?"

Ye Mingxuan said: "It's very simple. As long as that person encounters an accident and cannot get out of bed, there will always be someone in her place to take care of her, right?"

Zi Jin held his forehead, feeling that his headache was getting worse, and said feebly: "You fool, even if this is the case, can't Grandma and Mrs. Du find a replacement? The worst is the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. Why?

It won't be my turn to have a new wife, do you understand?"

Zi Jin has a tendency to go crazy, but looking back now, her days in Yao Mansion were so happy that she felt like heaven.

Ye Mingxuan felt aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law, and said silently: "I don't understand the affairs of your women's family, why don't you just tell me what I should do and what I want to do, and I will definitely take care of it for you."

He sighed heavily and said: "Let's take it one step at a time. As long as others can't bully me, I can't make trouble for nothing. It's just to see who can't help it first. But I think there won't be trouble for nothing. Is life good?

It’s easy to calm down and have a good time in two days.”

Ye Mingxuan is a big man, and it is really difficult for him to make him master the affairs of the inner house. In the Yao Mansion, the Hai family is also in charge of the general affairs of the inner court, and Yao Qian is in charge of the outer court. Only when the inside and outside are separated can the family be happy. The problem is that the Yao family only has

A mistress, Aunt Mo, a capable aunt, and Old Mrs. Yao, a giant Buddha, were pressing down on her. Although there were constant small waves in the past few years, they were not able to make big waves after all.

But Ye Mansion is different. The situation in Ye Mansion is too complicated. There are two main wives. Mrs. Ye currently prefers Du Manqiu. As for Ye Qingcheng... it seems that she prefers the eldest princess now. How did she come up with this?

, because Ye Qingcheng stayed in the eldest princess’s room during these days much more than in Du Manqiu’s place. A man’s favor is a woman’s status. Although the eldest princess does not need these supporting status, but... Zi Jin does, because

Ye Qingcheng valued the eldest princess so much that no one in the house was blatantly disrespectful to Zi Jin. Others would not be blatantly disrespectful to you, but the contemptuous words spoken were enough to make people die of shame and anger. I think of Sister Lin in the Red Mansion.

Living in Jia's house, I shed so many tears when I heard other people's harsh words. The so-called soft knife that kills people is nothing more than that.

How pathetic women are, so much glory is tied to men.

Zi Jin always couldn't figure it out. Her father-in-law was a weird one. He actually married two wives. At first, he and the eldest princess didn't seem to have a good relationship. Recently, they have become very affectionate towards each other, and the eldest princess can't seem to be happy on her face.

After squeezing out the water, Du Manqiu could still hold it in, and he was already an idiot.

Ye Mingxuan finally got to go to the office early one day. He couldn't spend all his energy here. Naturally, he wanted to hug his little wife and give her a good massage. Zi Jin rubbed his belly and thought, this

This guy works so hard, maybe he will actually get pregnant early.

In a daze, something suddenly flashed through his mind. He grabbed Ye Mingxuan and asked, "Aren't you surprised that neither Chu nor Chen are pregnant? In addition to these two people, they also have concubines in their yard.

Yes, I haven’t heard of anyone being pregnant, it’s really strange.”

Ye Mingxuan, however, seemed not to care. He yawned and hugged Zi Jin into his arms, and then said, "I don't care what others do with so many things. Maybe they have done too many bad things, and God will punish them."

Zi Jin didn't believe this. He put his arm on Ye Mingxuan's chest, half-closed his eyes and whispered in a low voice: "Are you responsible?"

Ye Mingxuan frowned, and then said: "You doubt me?"

Zi Jin thinks so. The one in her family is the most arrogant and hates such dirty methods. He doesn't bother to do this. If Ye Mingxuan hadn't done it, the second bedroom of the eldest family has not had a child yet, not even one of them is pregnant.

If there are none, how can it really be a cycle of heaven?

Zi Jin always felt that this reason was too far-fetched, but after all, it was a matter over there. What did she worry about? She yawned and fell asleep on Ye Mingxuan's shoulder. Before falling asleep, she thought about what if she got pregnant first.
