This sentence really cheered up the bunch of ladies and grandmothers who were dug out of their beds.
The eldest lady lowered her eyes and said nothing, and she had no time to care about it.
Weeping in the palace is not an easy task, and in such a cold winter month, you have to stand in a large square to cry, and I don't know if a temporary shed will be built.
If not, it's hard to say how many lives were lost.
Qiao Yuyan was worried about the old lady and Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu might be a little better, although it had been two months since the birth, and with the adjustment of Pinellia ternata, her body had basically recovered.
But the old lady is old after all, which is really worrying.
"During this period, everything in the mansion will be kept low-key and simple. The most important thing is to restrain everyone in the mansion and not cause any trouble."
Old Mrs. Wen's eyes swept over all the female relatives present, "Sixth daughter-in-law!"
Qiao Yuyan was still thinking about Wen Tingyuan, and when she was called by name unexpectedly, she quickly raised her head and said, "Old lady."
"Yesterday your eldest brother came over and said that you are a good young handyman. Your eldest sister-in-law is going to join me in the palace. You should consider it as a favor to help with the matters in the palace!"
Everyone present, including Qiao Yuyan, was surprised.
Qiao Yuyan saw the others' faces and refused without hesitation, "The old lady wanted to give her daughter-in-law a chance to exercise, and my daughter-in-law is very grateful.
But I'm not familiar with things in the house, and I don't even know the past practices. Now is a critical time, and I really can't afford it if something goes wrong.
Unless the daughter-in-law shirks it, she is really powerless. If the old lady thinks her daughter-in-law can still be used, her daughter-in-law can help and help."
When Old Mrs. Wen heard this, there was a little smile in her eyes, and she looked a little more relaxed than before, "Where are you thinking? Didn't I tell you just now? I asked you to help me. How can such a big burden be so easy to bear?"
On you?"
She pointed at Mrs. Chu and Ms. Chen, "You two sisters-in-law are young. This time, it's your time to help."
Mrs. Chu's heart lifted up because of Mrs. Chu's words, and then slowly fell back into her stomach.
Ms. Chen, on the other hand, was overjoyed. She used to take care of family affairs in her natal family. Although she came from a small family, she was used to giving orders. She had always been suppressed by Mrs. Wen in the past, and this time she was able to do so.
When you show off your skills, you will inevitably feel a little complacent.
The two of them stood up together and saluted Mrs. Wen, saying that they would fulfill their duties.
Old Mrs. Chu then pointed at Qiao Yuyan and the fourth wife Wen Shi, "They are both tender-faced and young wives. Many older wives are afraid that they cannot be restrained, so you two will help from the side and help the younger generations to watch."
.”
Qiao Yuyan already has a lot of personnel work in the house, so this so-called small job is actually very limited.
Moreover, the relationship between her and Chen is now acceptable, so she is not worried.
The fourth wife, Wenshi, was obviously very surprised. She had always been a transparent person in the palace and rarely appeared in public because she was a widow.
Except for necessary activities, I almost never see her.
When it was pointed out at this time, she was not the only one, everyone else felt puzzled. Relatively speaking, the third wife Zhou was so active on weekdays, so she was not more suitable than the fourth wife.
What's more, there is also the fifth wife, Mrs. Lin. Although Mrs. Lin is not involved in external affairs, she is still a face that often shows up.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were almost red with anger. She had just heard the old lady say that she wanted someone to take care of the housework. She thought that it was definitely herself.
result……
Wen was a little embarrassed. When she was about to speak, the old lady blocked her, "You don't have to refuse. You have been staying in the house for so many years because you are polite. Is it because you have no ability?"
What's more, I don't want you to really do anything, just help me out in public. You used to be the most trusted by me. Now, don't you think that I am mourning in the palace?
Are you still thinking about your family?"
When Mrs. Wen heard this, she quietly agreed.
After finishing the matter, Mrs. Wen told everyone to have breakfast quickly and go about their business.
Qiao Yuyan watched Mrs. Zhou walk out of Yi'anju first and shook her head secretly.
Although Zhou was liked by the old lady, she went too far when it came to Naier.
For the sake of the Wen family's face, the old lady could help her cover it up, but she might not like her method. Maybe it was this behavior that made old lady Wen dissatisfied.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw three other people waiting under the verandah.
"Sixth Aunt, this happened suddenly. My third brother, sister and I have never encountered it before. I am afraid that many things are not clear, so I thought, why don't we find a place to discuss matters and discuss everything we have to do in these days?
After dividing the work, we will reply every day and there will be a certain number."
Mrs. Chu's voice was soft, but she stood very straight. At first glance, she looked like the daughter of a wealthy family.
Qiao Yuyan glanced at Wen Shi, then nodded with a smile, "This is a very good idea, and it's not yours. This is the first time I have encountered such a thing. I have to look through the past. The most important thing is not to make any mistakes.
That’s good.”
Mrs. Wen then decided on a small courtyard for resting between the large courtyard of the Changfang and Tao Ranju. When Qiao Yuyan was confused, she explained that there was a path to the Banshanju where she lived, so it was a cheap place for everyone.
The lady in charge had already gotten the message and asked people to clean up the house, and then heated up the kang table and stove.
When Qiao Yuyan and others entered, it was already warm inside.
Mother Sun and several wives were waiting on the ground, "The eldest lady will go to the palace immediately after eating. Let the old slave wait here for the two ladies and grandma. If you need anything, just give me instructions."
Qiao Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mrs. Wen didn't act out of anger and vent her anger on Wen Liang.
The four of them had breakfast together and then started discussing.
Qiao Yuyan is still in charge of personnel matters. She has just taken over this matter, so it is not easy to take care of it. If there is more work, she may be too busy.
Mrs. Chen is responsible for everything in the kitchen. Now you have to pay attention to the food in each room. If you are not careful, you will violate taboos.
Mrs. Chu is responsible for night inspections of various parts of the mansion and various daily matters.
The Wen family has not been in charge for many years, so they are responsible for the activities of each family in the family. This was originally the most complicated, but now that there is a national mourning, it is the least busy, but if there is any movement, it is the most important.
Wen didn't shirk, which showed that he had a plan in mind. Remembering Mrs. Wen's words, he knew that this arrangement was appropriate.
All other matters should be discussed together.
After the overall situation was agreed upon and they had lunch together, Qiao Yuyan had time to go to Tao Ranxuan.
She was thinking about Wen Tingyuan saying he would come back in the evening, so she didn't want to stay in the meeting hall.
As soon as I walked to the door, I noticed something was wrong.
