The second steward of the mansion knelt in front of Huo Xi, not knowing how to reply.

Aunt Jun asked the steward to come to Mrs. Shizi to ask the reason. The stewards were either sick or couldn't get away because of something, so they brought him here.

The second steward was extremely regretful, why did he make this trip.

"Return to madam, the housekeepers who were sent away from Dongpian House have no work now, crying and begging, and there is no other vacancy in the mansion at the moment, so I don't know how to arrange for them. Why don't we let them go back to Dongpian It's time for the door."

Looking up at Huo Xi, seeing that she was silent, she wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"In addition... In addition, Aunt Jun said that there are plenty of stoves in the big kitchen. There are not many servants in the big house, so it is against the rules to occupy a big stove by itself. The kitchen is not doing well, so just beat it up. If, if everyone If you follow the big house, it will be messed up. From now on, the affairs of the mansion can't... can't be managed."

Vanilla was annoyed when she heard this, and reprimanded: "When we were treated unfairly before, why didn't there be someone in charge to deal with it? Let us eat the leftovers, let alone the leftovers, and we can't even get out of the door! We have to check the right cards and check , Even the things we bought from outside have to be searched for a long time, and the flower cakes have to be crushed, thinking that we are hiding poison! This is the judge? Are you going to interrogate the prisoner?"

The second steward was sweating white hairs on his forehead: "It's all the people below who did the wrong job! I've already reprimanded them, and there will be no such thing again." He repeatedly promised.

"Hey, who would believe you? When we first entered the mansion, you acted as if you forgot about us, and didn't even issue a report. It happened once, and now it's happening again? There is no such thing in the Duke's mansion in the capital. Look It’s still the wrong person to take care of Zhongfu. You can’t even take care of the servants, why don’t you change someone to take care of it!”

The second manager dared not respond to this.

How dare he respond to Aunt Jun's lack of power?

If these things got to the ears of outsiders, saying that the big house occupied the east side gate, sent guards to guard it, and sent people to occupy the kitchen stove, the outsiders might not know how to make a joke of Mu's house.

At that time, the Duke of the country will get angry and scold Aunt Jun for being incompetent in housekeeping, but it is even worse for them.

He didn't want to lose his job.In the whole of Yunnan, where else can you find such a good job?
Huo Xi didn't want to embarrass his subordinates either.

He said to the second steward: "The east side gate is close to my big house. It is more convenient for us to go through the east side gate than the gate. We will not withdraw people back. As for the old women who were guarding the gate, the Mu mansion is so big. If there are no vacancies in the errands, there are a lot of properties outside, how many wives are not easy to arrange?"

Can working outside be as comfortable as living in the house?

Mrs. Shizi said this, did she refuse to abandon the Dongbian Gate?
I also heard Mrs. Shizi say: "As for the big kitchen, if the stove is not enough, Aunt Jun doesn't know how to deal with it. Why don't I go to the Duke's side and move the stove to the courtyard of our big house, or take a look at the house?" How can there be an open space and an empty yard to build another kitchen for my big house?"

It was because she was afraid that the matter would reach the ears of the Grand Duke that Aunt Jun let them go this trip to persuade Mrs. Shizi to return.

Why do you have to talk to the Duke of the country?
The second steward hurriedly dissuaded: "How dare you bother Mrs. Shizi with such trivial matters. Although there is a separate stove, the amount of cooking in the big kitchen is less, so it is not a big problem for the time being."

"Isn't it a big problem?" Huo Xi smiled.

"In fact, there are quite a few guards in our big house. One stove is actually not enough. You can't cook vegetables and soup at the same time when cooking. When the rice is done, the dishes have to be cooked one by one, which is time-consuming and troublesome. Why don't I go to the Duke?" Let's go over there and see how to deal with the matter. Otherwise, let the servants use me and Shizi's small kitchen."

How can this work?

Let the master and the servants share the same kitchen, and if it spreads, wouldn't it make people laugh?
"Don't worry, ma'am, I will take good care of the big kitchen, and they won't dare to use it too much. If something goes wrong again, I'll go to the Duke myself to plead guilty!"

After a long while, Huo Xicai nodded, "That's fine. I'll just trust the second steward this time. Let the steward arrange the kitchen affairs. You can't say that the servants of the Duke of the Kingdom won't be able to eat, can you?"

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry. There won't be such a thing." I think Mrs. Shizi is quite easy to talk to, "Then, the matter of Dongpianmen..."

"Dongpian Gate? Does someone else want to use Dongpian Gate? My eldest room helps guard the gate. I do a lot of work and don't get an extra monthly payment. What's wrong with that?"

Uh...what's the problem?He couldn't say there was a problem either.

Things didn't make sense, so the second steward had no choice but to leave in despair.

Aunt Jun was so angry that she threw herself in the room.

"This bastard is dissatisfied with my palm feeding, and is fighting against me!" He even sent guards to guard the east side gate!Does it look like she's a big brother?

He wanted to take advantage of Da Fang, but unexpectedly he was very angry.

The big house has a gate for entry and exit, and even the bills are only paid in silver, and the big house sends people to buy them!I also bought a cook to help the cook and put them in the big kitchen, holding these people's identities!

She originally wanted to make a fuss about eating and drinking, but now she can't do it.

What made Aunt Jun angry was yet to come.

The banknotes she sent to Jun's family were spent within a few days.Mrs. Jun also knew that if she asked her for money again, it would be difficult to ask her.He said he wanted to sell his property for silver.

How did you get to the point of selling silver?Jun disagrees.

Once the property is sold, others will know that Jun's business has suffered setbacks. At that time, business partners will not choose Jun's, and it will only be more difficult for Jun's.

"Why don't you exchange some hidden property for silver?" suggested.

But how can the Jun family have any secret property?Relying on Aunt Jun's mother and son these years, the whole family and clan members have been very high-profile outside, for fear that others will not know that their family's great fortune is different, and there is no secret inheritance.

Grandpa Jun frowned for a long time, "Then, we can only sell the dry shares of Brown's jade mine."

He didn't even talk about selling it to others, but asked Aunt Jun, "The family owns [-]% of the shares. Instead of taking advantage of others, why don't you ask Zhan'er to buy it back?"

Jun Shi was taken aback, "Brown bought that jade mine with a lot of money before!" Thirty percent?How could Zhan'er get so much money at once?

Now they eat and use the mansion, and there is no separation. The men in the mansion have some properties, but they all have special shopkeepers to take care of them. Most of the income is handed over to the public, and the masters and young masters just get some dividends every year.

Otherwise, why would she and Zhan'er want to secretly save some property?Want to have your own staff?
"Father, you know about your grandson's situation. When we bought the jade mine, our mother and son took out almost all the money we saved. Now he wants to recruit some people, but he can't make up the money."

Seeing Aunt Jun calling her poor, Mrs. Jun was a little dissatisfied.

Aunt Jun hurriedly comforted her, "Father, don't worry. There are so many stocks in the shop, as long as they are sold, they will be paid for."

Seeing that Aunt Jun didn't mention giving money any more, or exchanging money for dry shares, Mrs. Jun had no choice but to go back and find another way.

On the other hand, Huo Xi soon found out about the news, and secretly sent someone to contact Jun Ruoxu.
