After choosing the person, Zheng Yue'e went directly to Li Xiuying with two women and three maids. Li Xiuying declined for a long time and danced with a woman and a maid beside her.
"Second sister-in-law, please talk to me." Li Xiuying whispered.
Zheng Yue'e nodded and asked the two mothers-in-law and three maids to wait outside the door. Then she sat beside Li Xiuying's bed, teasing Su Youning who had just woken up, and said softly: "When a person is chosen, the mother-in-law will take the surname.
The mother-in-law you choose has a surname of Kong, so she will be called Mrs. Kong, and the maid will be given a nice and auspicious name. This is called giving a name, and this is what my mother did."
"Second sister-in-law is the most considerate. That's what I wanted to ask." Li Xiuying asked softly, "Please choose someone to tell me about it today."
Zheng Yue'e raised her eyelids and glanced at Li Xiuying, and smiled: "At first, only your third sister-in-law dared to choose. My mother said that this was not possible, and we couldn't let the slave choose the master. She was afraid that we daughters-in-law who came from poor backgrounds would not be able to choose, so she chose first.
We have learned a lesson from the people who serve her."
"Hey, second sister-in-law, I used to think that third sister-in-law is the smartest among our sisters-in-law, very clever and clever." Li Xiuying sighed and said.
Zheng Yue'e stretched out her hand to press the back of Li Xiuying's hand and patted it gently: "You are in confinement, what are you thinking about? Liangxiu is still the smartest among us. Seeing that after February 2, their family
I'm going to Lecheng Mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back much in the future, my mother is living in front of us, so why don't we pamper our mother a little bit?"
Li Xiuying's eyes were red, but she was amused by Zheng Yue'e. She took a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes: "You really dare to say that you are doting on my mother. If my mother doesn't beat you after hearing this, how can you do it the other way around?
of?"
"As long as we have one at home, my mother said that the confinement period lasts forty-two days. I calculated the day and it was February 17th. The old order said that the confinement period would be one day earlier so that the son could be more visible, and the daughter would be in confinement one day later.
, when we have the blessing of tranquility, we will have a lively banquet on February 16th, won’t my mother be in a better mood?” Zheng Yuee’e said.
Li Xiuying immediately nodded: "Yes, my mother is very concerned about the third brother. She likes the grandson and the daughter so much. Suddenly the whole family left. She must have flashed. The second sister-in-law was thoughtful."
If Chen Yu, who was completely unaware, found out, he would tell them that they were overthinking it!
Zheng Yue'e asked Li Xiuying to give the maid a name. Li Xiuying held it in for a long time, then she blushed and gave her the name Chunliu.
"No." Zheng Yue'e quickly waved her hand: "Your fourth sister-in-law's name is Chunhua, but your name Chunliu is not appropriate, so why not call her Qingliu."
Li Xiuying raised her hand to cover her forehead: "Second sister-in-law, I started to learn to read after I was born. I almost made fourth sister-in-law angry. Just Qingliu, Qingliu."
"Your fourth sister-in-law won't be angry, but we have to have a taboo." Zheng Yue'e wrote it down on the list and called Qingliu and Mrs. Kong to come in and identify the master.
When the two of them knelt down, Zheng Yue'e suppressed Li Xiuying's arm without leaving any trace, for fear of making a joke.
Finally, Li Xiuying calmed down.
Zheng Yue'e returned to her yard with the remaining mother-in-law and two maids. The mother-in-law's surname was Jin, so she called her Mrs. Jin. The two maids were named Cuizhu and Yuetao.
The roster was written and sent to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu opened the roster and found two maids beside him: Mrs. Wang, Leng Xiang and Xun Mei.
Below are Mrs. Jin next to Zheng Yuee, the maids named Yuetao and Cuizhu, Mrs. Jiang and Qingling next to Cui Liangxiu, Mrs. Zhu and Qingping next to Qiao Chunhua, and Mrs. Ji and Shuangxi next to Pan Yuling.
After seeing them, Chen Yu said to Zheng Yue'e: "You have to look at these people. We don't know their character yet. If there are really inappropriate ones, they should be dealt with early."
"Yes, Yue'e knows." Zheng Yue'e knew very well that from now on, the Su family would have to change its appearance. There would have to be rules. Rewards and punishments must be clear. She had to control these people.
This is a big deal for the Su family.
Chen Yu asked Zheng Yue'e to go and call Mrs. Wang, Leng Xiang and Xunmei who were waiting beside him.
Mrs. Wang has a slim figure and her hair is meticulously combed. At first glance, she is a capable person.
Chen Yu took out Mrs. Wang's deed, looked at it, and said, "Xiangqin, you once worked as a servant for a wealthy family, so you should pay more attention to this yard. It's up to you to decide how Leng Xiang and Xunmei will arrange it."
Mrs. Wang was suddenly called by her maiden name, and she quickly took a step forward: "Yes, there must be a person beside the old lady who is responsible for washing, combing hair and changing clothes. There must be someone for hairpins, jewelry and clothing accessories. I will teach you a lesson first."
Lengxiang and Xunmei.”
Chen Yu nodded, took out three red envelopes from the box and handed them to Mrs. Wang: "From now on, you will do your best to work by my side. There will be rewards for merit and punishment for mistakes. I have few rules and am loyal enough. There are all masters in this yard, young master."
Ask about what’s going on in other yards.”
The three people knelt down to express their gratitude, and Chen Yu asked them to clean up the penthouse and live there.
Zheng Yuee'e was not slow either. Mrs. Jin beside her was a cheerful person. She took Yuetao and Cuizhu to various courtyards to deliver bedding and utensils for the servants. When they came here, Mrs. Jin came in first with the maid to say hello to Chen Yu.
, Chen Yu is very satisfied with Mrs. Jin and the two maids, they work neatly and neatly, and they are good helpers.
During dinner, the Su Erlang brothers and the children unconsciously sat up straight and ate quietly. After dinner, the Su brothers all ran to Su Sanlang's study to ask Su Sanlang how to be the master. After all, everyone
No experience at all.
Su Sanlang talked for a long time, quoting from classics. The brothers of the Su family listened attentively. When they went back, they all straightened their bodies, for fear of doing something unworthy of their master.
Chen Yu took a walk in the yard after dinner. She couldn't help laughing when she witnessed the whole process. She had servants to take care of her at home, but she was stressed out by a few cheap sons?
This process is inevitable, and they won't care about it after a few days. After all, there are no idle people in the Su family.
The first generation of wealth is the nouveau riche, and the third generation of wealth is the aristocracy. Some things need time to settle, such as heritage.
Taking a break from her busy schedule, Chen Yu went to Su Sanlang's study to find some books about the customs and customs of Dai Viet and read through them.
The words "Huizhou Prefecture" came into view. Chen Yu thought of the Cui family and looked at it from here. This sight really made Chen Yu see the secret.
Huizhou Prefecture is close to the sea and has a shipping department. Overseas trade is a major feature of Huizhou Prefecture.
If it weren't for reading, where would Chen Yu know?
The Cui family is in Huizhou Prefecture. From a merchant's point of view, they are in the right place at the right time. After all, business rules always follow the principle that things are rare and valuable. Those merchants who come from afar are simply huge business opportunities.
Chen Yu was very excited because silk, cloth, porcelain and wine were all goods with huge energy. Once these could be transported through maritime trade routes, it would be a way to make a lot of money every day.
It seems that if you have a chance, you should go to Huizhou Prefecture to see it.
