The concubine lifted the table, the prince was too rampant

201: Manqiu fell into a trap, siblings meet again to find the vacant position in charge, it is important to arrange whoever sits on it. If it was before, this kind of question probably wouldn’t be asked, because Du Manqiu’s housekeeper and Mrs. Ye would only Say you figure it out.But now that Zijin has taken over the position of the Chu family, and Zijin is the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess, if Du Manqiu is allowed to make the decision as before, there may be another incident similar to gambling. Mrs. Ye knew exactly what was behind the gamble.

Hearing Du Manqiu's question, Mrs. Ye could tell that Du Manqiu would probably think that he would leave the matter to him as before, but... Mrs. Ye sighed softly in her heart, and then said: "Big and small More than a dozen stewards have been involved, and the inner courtyard is quite turbulent, as for the stewards, you can give me a list to discuss after discussing."

Du Manqiu was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had heard it wrong, but looking at Mrs. Ye's expression, it didn't seem like she said something wrong, and finally felt a little real at this moment, and now it's really not the same as before.Du Manqiu didn't show his face, and nodded lightly, "Yes, I will ask my mother to have a look after drawing up the list later."

Mrs. Ye waved everyone back. She didn't want to do too many things, but she couldn't do it if she didn't speak up. Sitting in this position, she actually has her own difficulties.

At the gate of Luyuan, the two families left facing each other. Zijin followed the eldest princess back to Meiyuan. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law closed the door and whispered. Thinking that sister-in-law is a shrewd person, what she needs is completely different from Mrs. Du, as long as we can win sister-in-law to secretly surrender, our future will be much smoother."

The eldest princess looked at Zi Jin with a smile, and asked: "This method is not bad, but have you ever thought that the Chu family is still the daughter-in-law over there no matter what, unless Ye Jin has been fine, otherwise Ye Jin just It's a bit of a surprise, she must be the first to turn against her."

Zi Jin naturally thought about this question, and said very solemnly: "I think my husband will definitely explain to my elder brother, after all, the situation we are currently facing is too complicated, even if my husband still can't let go of the old brotherhood. Enmity and hatred, but I will never mention it again at this time. What's more, this matter/related to Mrs. Du, my husband will also act according to his discretion. I think that instead of letting the eldest brother and the second brother not know the truth , follow Mrs. Du all the way to the dark, it is better to let the husband act first, reveal the matter slowly, let the two brothers themselves become suspicious of Mrs. Du, such a result will be more effective than what we do Many. After all, Mrs. Du is the biological mother of the eldest brother and the second brother. No matter what others say, is it possible for them not to believe their own mother but to believe in others? There is no such reason, unless they themselves find out that something is wrong, and the evidence is solid, they have to believe it. Yes. As long as they still feel that they are the descendants of the Ye family, what to do, what to do, we don’t need to mention it, the eldest brother will definitely make a choice by himself.”

In fact, Zi Jin disdains to be a person who is behind the scenes. Since Du Manqiu and Qingshui'an are not clear about it, they don't need to talk about it. They just need to arrange a suitable opportunity for Ye Jin to see it with his own eyes. Seeing is believing, and everything will be resolved. up.

The eldest princess didn't expect that Zi Jin would have such ingenuity, she smiled lightly and said, "Let's not care about the matter between them brothers, Ming Xuan will make up his own mind. But for the matter in front of you, do you think it should be done?" How to do?"

Zi Jin knew that the eldest princess was referring to the affairs of the inner court, Zi Jin frowned, looked up at the eldest princess and said, "I also ask my mother to guide me, my daughter-in-law is stupid, and I can't think of a good way for a while. There are so many The position is definitely important or unimportant, for example, which one should we replace the steward of the big kitchen? Is it ours or Mrs. Du's? If we want to win this position, what should we do?"

Zi Jin is not modest, she really doesn't know, because Zi Jin has not fully figured out the temperament of everyone in the Hou's mansion, who can use and who can't. Only then sincerely asked the eldest princess for advice.It's just that in a short period of time since the eldest princess acted vigorously and took down Nanny Jian in one fell swoop, it can be seen that the eldest princess knows a lot about the affairs in the Hou's mansion.

The eldest princess was very relieved that Zi Jin did not rely on her cleverness to show off, such a child is worth teaching.Stretching out her hand to stroke the broken hair on her sideburns, she said, "Mrs. Du is not a person who gives up easily. Although there are more than a dozen managerial positions, big and small, the only person I'm following her is the chief manager of the kitchen. As long as you take this position, who in the mansion would dare to look down on you in the future? It’s just that Du Manqiu is bound to win this position. If she loses this position, people in the mansion will definitely be unstable. Du Manqiu, the housekeeper The position of her will also be loosened. Since everyone is bound to win this position, if two tigers compete with each other, there will be some injuries. At this time, we can't confront her head-on, at least confront her face-to-face, but in private, we have to use a trick to sneak through. "

When the eldest princess said this and looked at Zijin, Zijin's white forehead wrinkled a few thin lines. The words of the eldest princess were a bit convoluted. Looking up at the eldest princess, she smiled, "Daughter-in-law understands, mother is really good at chess, this time I'm afraid it's easy to catch, but I don't know who is the candidate in mother's mind? Daughter-in-law will follow the trend and use it as a general!"

The eldest princess looked at Zi Jin who was so smart, and she felt a sense of pride in her heart, and said with a smile: "The child can be taught. In the big kitchen, it turns out that Nanny Jian is the chief steward. The chief steward usually has two second-class stewards. There are two second-class stewards in the big kitchen in front of me. One is Ye Jin's wife's companion, Mother Qin, and the other is Mother Wang, who has worked her way up step by step. Waist, because Du Manqiu is extremely cautious in doing things, it is not so easy for Du Manqiu to catch her and throw her out. This Wang Momo is a usable person, you are no different from Du Manqiu, and you will not let go of General Wang Momo."

Zi Jin understood in her heart that she was afraid that this Wang Momo was the secret thread that the eldest princess had buried in the Hou's mansion for more than ten years. Zi Jin wouldn't believe it if she said that the eldest princess did nothing secretly.But the most brilliant thing about the eldest princess is that others don't know that Wang Momo is the eldest princess's person.This time, Du Manqiu will definitely let her companion sit in the position of the chief kitchen manager. Of course, Zijin will not agree, and she will recommend someone of her own. Du Manqiu will definitely not agree to the person recommended by Zijin. The two sides will be at loggerheads.

At this time, if Zijin pushes out Nanny Wang, who is not reliable on both sides, although Du Manqiu doesn't like Nanny Wang, but compared to the person who sits in the position of chief executive, Zijin's person, don't say that Du Manqiu is just any one. People would rather sit on the unreliable Wang Momo, so each takes a step back, and everyone is happy.

On the surface, everyone is happy, but in fact, the eldest princess's house is safe, because Wang Momo is theirs after all.

Zijin secretly admired the eldest princess in her heart. It must have been so many years ago that the eldest princess could have predicted that one day she would fight Du Manqiu, put her own people in the mansion early, and could not be let down by anyone for so many years. He realizes that with this scheming, Zi Jin is really hard to match, at least Zi Jin will not think about things that will happen more than ten years later.

People have no long-term considerations, and there must be near-term worries. This is true and true. So far, Zijin has confirmed once again that the most sinister and smartest aura in the Hou's mansion is the eldest princess who has always been considered the most useless. See The feeling of being misled by the wrong person is really quite hurtful.

Things really happened as the eldest princess expected. Du Manqiu and Zijin fought in the ring, and the two each pushed out one person from their own camp to be the chief steward. The previous one was an example, and he firmly disagreed with being on good terms with Jian Nanny, who was also Du Manqiu's companion and took the post of chief steward.Du Manqiu accused the person recommended by Zijin of having no experience in managing the kitchen. With so many people in the Hou Mansion, how can an inexperienced conductor be allowed?

The contest has been going on for two days, the candidates have been changed a few times, and no one is always convinced, and they can find all kinds of excuses to attack the other party.In the end, Zijin was extremely exhausted, looked at Du Manqiu and said, "Since my mother doesn't agree with this or that, why don't we do this? I see that the second steward of the big kitchen, Nanny Wang, is hardworking and has some skills." , how about just her?"

Du Manqiu was taken aback, Mother Wang?The brows were tightly frowned, this Wang Momo had been at odds with her all along, she was really not a good match, so she was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Zi Jin sighed, "The big kitchen is a very important place. My mother also said that there are banquets at home, and people come and go. If something goes wrong in the big kitchen, who can take care of it? This mother Wang has a bad temper." It stinks a bit, but I heard that the workmanship is good and the person is decent, I don’t know what mother is not satisfied with?"

Du Manqiu is naturally dissatisfied. This Wang Momo is not only stinky, but also defiant. Not to mention she has even contradicted the eldest princess a few times... Thinking of this, Du Manqiu knew that he could not stop arguing about this position. Mrs. Ye It's not easy to explain to people, instead of letting the eldest princess and Yao Zijin's people sit in this position, it's better to let Wang Momo sit in it.

As for why Du Manqiu didn't suspect that Nanny Wang might belong to the eldest princess?In fact, there is a reason for it, because this Wang Momo has contradicted Jiang Momo who is in front of the eldest princess several times, because Jiang Momo wants to cook extra tonic for the eldest princess in the big kitchen, but Wang Momo said that the mansion Without this rule, if you want to do it, you have to subsidize it with money yourself. No one will like such an honest person.At that time, the eldest princess had just married into the Hou's mansion not long ago, and the mansion didn't know that there were few people to curry favor with her, but this mother Wang was the only one who didn't accept this kind of thing. There were conflicts a few times, but Mother Wang was strict with herself, and it was really not easy to find fault with her, so she has stayed in the position of the second manager for so many years.

Du Manqiu finally compromised. After much deliberation, Wang Momo was still an acceptable candidate.After the position of the big kitchen steward was settled in this way, the positions of the other small stewards were quickly agreed upon, about [-] to [-], with half of Du Manqiu's staff and half of Zi Jin's staff sitting on it.So far, Zi Jin has successfully taken the first step of managing general affairs in the Hou's Mansion, steadily and without the slightest inclination.

Mrs. Ye naturally has no objection. Wang Mama, who has always been not very popular, sits in such a position. There are people coming and going in her small courtyard. After a successful appreciation, some people went home sadly, each with their own joys, each with their own sorrows, and it took seven or eight days to settle down.

Zijin has been busy with the handover of general affairs these few days, knowing the stewards of the Hou's mansion, she is really busy without touching the ground.Ye Mingxuan is also weird, every day when Zijin returns home, she is exhausted and falls asleep before going home, when Zijin wakes up in the morning, Ye Mingxuan left again, although the couple live under the same roof, they sleep on the same bed On the bed, but really didn't say a word for several days.

Mrs. Chu was still contemplating behind closed doors. Mrs. Zijin and Mrs. Shen were managing the housework beside Du Manqiu. Mrs. Shen was more straight-minded, although she had a lot of heart, but she was just a little short when fighting with Mrs. Zijin. Zi Jin was so angry that he jumped up and down, and he endured it.Zi Jin did this because she didn't want Du Manqiu to be suspicious of her, so she could only feel wronged and wronged Shen Shi, so these days, Shen Shi often saw Zi Jin's face was very exciting, and her anger was mixed with aggrieved and aggrieved. Qu Zhong twisted his helplessness, and in his helplessness there was a hidden desire for revenge. At this age, he was not Zi Jin's opponent, but he had to bear it for life. : Amitabha, God, please forgive me!

The days passed by so quietly, and it was the end of October in a blink of an eye, and Zi Jin never thought that her elder brother, who was in the limelight recently, would come to her door.

Zi Jin was looking at the account book, and beside her, Xian Qiao was setting the abacus up, and beside her, Han Mei and Shui Rong were also holding pens, and after Zi Jin read a word, they wrote a sentence in their respective notebooks.While she was busy, Yan Tao raised the curtain and walked in, with a smile all over her face, she said: "Young madam, young madam, the young master is here."

Zi Jin frowned and said, "Eldest Young Master? Which Eldest Young Master?"

Yan Tao hurriedly said: "Which Eldest Young Master can it be, naturally the Eldest Young Master of Yao Mansion."

Zi Jin shook her hand, surprised inexplicably: "Brother? Where is it?" As she said that, she was about to go out, but Yan Tao hurriedly followed her, and replied, "It's in the front yard. The Marquis is not at home, nor is your lord. Mrs. Du invites you to meet the guests at the flower hall at the entrance of the inner courtyard."

Yao Changjie is a foreigner, so it is not good to go directly into the inner courtyard. Zi Jin nodded hurriedly, looked at her clothes, reached out to caress the hairpin ring, then looked at Xianqiao and said: "You stay in the room and continue to check accounts, Yan Yan Tao and Shui Rong will follow me."

Shui Rong hurriedly put down the pen in her hand, and followed immediately.

Zi Jin hurried to the flower hall, and saw Yao Changjie sitting upright on a rosewood armchair from a distance, and standing beside him talking with him was Xie Yuan, the chief steward of the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion.Zi Jin heaved a sigh of relief, Xie Yuan was here to accompany her, and she treated her eldest brother as a distinguished guest. Mrs. Du's arrangements this time were not bad, her natal family was valued, so Zi Jin naturally had a bright face.

Seeing Zi Jin coming in, Xie Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "This old slave has seen the third young lady."

"Thank you, butler, please get up quickly." Zi Jin smiled.

Only then did Xie Yuan stand up, and said with a smile: "I still have some things to deal with, so I ask the third young lady to allow me to leave."

Mr. Xie, who was in charge of affairs and current affairs, made room for the two brothers and sisters to talk, and Zi Jin naturally understood, so she nodded in agreement.This Xie Yuan is also unpredictable, Zi Jin seldom contacts the outer court, but he also knows that Xie Yuan reaches out to Ye Qingcheng for his attention.

"Brother." Zi Jin looked at Yao Changjie, she really missed Yao Changjie after not seeing him for a long time, her eyes turned red, and tears burst out, which couldn't be stopped.Zi Jin thought about seeing Hai Shi, she would not be so excited. "You lost weight? Didn't sister-in-law give you food?"

Yao Changjie had a stern face, but when he heard Zi Jin's out-of-the-ordinary words, he couldn't hold it anymore, and couldn't help smiling, "You're still so naughty, sit down."

Zijin sat opposite Yao Changjie. Yao Changjie lost weight and darkened his skin, but his eyes became brighter. I heard that her elder brother was in the limelight during this period, and many corrupt officials were under his command. After being cut off from the horse, I don't know how many people respected, feared and hated him.

Yao Changjie was also looking at Zijin. After this look, the coffin face just relaxed a little, and then wrinkled tightly. Looking at Zijin, he asked, "Why did you lose weight again? Someone bullied you or did Ye Mingxuan treat you badly?" good?"

"It's nothing. I've been managing general affairs with Mrs. Du recently. I'm bound to be a little busy at the beginning, and I'll be fine in a while." Zi Jin hurriedly explained, and then smiled: "If I don't bully others, I should just smile secretly." , who dares to bully me?"

Yao Changjie smiled helplessly, seeing that Zijin was as playful as ever, and there was no resentment in his expression, he felt a lot more relieved, and said slowly: "If someone bullies you, you are not allowed to hide it, your elder brother can still protect you." For our own sister, we don’t need to make compromises.”

Hearing these words, Zi Jin couldn't help but her eyes blushed again, she hurriedly nodded, even though she tried her best to hold back, tears still fell down.Yao Changjie knew that life in the Hou Mansion was not necessarily as easy as Zijin said, so he reached out and handed his handkerchief to Zijin. It was still embroidered for Yao Changjie by himself, and the emerald green bamboo on the corner of the handkerchief fluttered in the wind and was still bright.At that time, thinking that she would have no time to do these things when she was married, she embroidered a large box for Yao Changjie as a backup. When she saw this handkerchief, she couldn't help crying again.

Yao Changjie stretched out his hand and patted Zijin's head, "She also likes to cry like a little girl, and she is not afraid of being laughed at. Don't cry, I have two things to tell you today."
